The State of California just can't get it together. Hoping to get around the 2/3rds requirement to try and tax it's way out of a recession, California has turned to using "fees" to raise revenues. A tax being a tax by any name, the voters nixed this trend of the bait and switch of fee for tax with Proposition 26.
This means fees can't be raised without a 2/3rds approval for State, and more importantly local fees. So, toss the idea of fees getting California out of the hole it's in.
With Governor Moonbeam back in office, California could end up taking this to court, and as usual overturn the will of the people.
Upping the ante of dysfunction.... It keeps getting better all the time.
