DeSaulnier, Torlakson, Buchanan flunk California Legislative Report Card

by BGR on November 19, 2009

The Howard Jarvis 2009 Legislative Report Card that rates California lawmakers based on their votes on 35 bills is now available.

See Full Report

As HJTA has done in previous years, 14 bills were double-weighted, including all six constitutional amendments that attacked Proposition 13 or 218. Also, all legislators voting for February’s $12.6 billion in new income, sales and car taxes received an automatic 20 point deduction.

Democrats including Senator Desaulnier, and Assemblymembers Torlakson and Buchanan generally flunked the test based on their votes on tax increases.

The Howard Jarvis group failed every Democrat and passed every Republican.

How observant. Democrats also vote for unrestrained spending. This is why the State of California faces $21B structural deficits as far as the eye can see.
