California gas tax repeal heading for the November ballot, campaign says
BANG's KATY MURPHY: "A campaign to roll back California’s new vehicle and gas taxes — and the $52 billion they are expected to generate over the next decade for road repairs and transit upgrades — is likely heading to the November ballot, say organizers who by Tuesday plan to deliver more than enough signatures to qualify."
"If the repeal initiative lands on the November ballot, voters can expect a costly and highly visible showdown between repeal supporters and the powerful coalition of labor, transportation and business groups that pushed for the new taxes and fees last year alongside Gov. Jerry Brown. Advocates are alarmed by the prospect of the money — already dedicated to thousands of projects, including the San Jose BART extension — vanishing."
"But Sacramento lawmakers underestimated the voter backlash when they pushed through the hikes last year, said Carl DeMaio, the San Diego talk-show host who launched the repeal effort."
California sanctuary law draws fire
From LISA RENNER in Capitol Weekly: "Los Alamitos Mayor Troy Edgar never imagined that the city’s action to exempt itself from California’s controversial sanctuary law would spark a movement."
"But that’s what has happened. Following a March vote by the city council, at least six counties and numerous other cities across the state — all with strong Republican registration — have announced opposition to Senate Bill 54, the California Values Act. San Diego and Orange counties gained the most attention when their boards of supervisors voted to support the U.S. Attorney General’s lawsuit against the law."
Two different Gavin Newsom ads -- do they confuse voters?
From PolitiFact California: "Some TV ad watchers might have been confused this weekend when they saw a Gavin Newsom for Governor advertisement."
"PolitiFact California on Friday rated Falsea claim in the campaign’s "First" ad, which is still airing statewide, according to Newsom’s campaign spokesman."
"We took issue with a statement in that 30-second spot that Newsom was "the first to take on the National Rifle Association and win." Our fact-check showed several other prominent California politicians, including U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, had taken on the NRA and won before Newsom."
