Hart outlines tax proposal at Solvang town hall
Assemblyman Gary Hart addressed about 70 Santa Ynez Valley residents in Solvang urging Gov. Brown to call a special session for residential tax reform. Hart proposed a plan shifting surtax to income tax dated for property relief, with counties setting percentages, yielding about 142 million for Santa Barbara to cut taxes by ~30 percent while limiting state spending on schools and counties. Others questioned park bonds and testing bills. Hart supported Saucedo's initiative and noted his signed Jarvis Amendment though lacking signatures.
