SB 1025 - Transparency on ballot propositions

PRO-TAXPAYER POSITION
Support
Senate Journal Page: 646

SB 1025 enhances taxpayer transparency by requiring all ballot propositions that impose or increase taxes to include a clear, prominent warning stating: “THIS IS A TAX INCREASE.” By ensuring that voters understand the financial impact of their decisions, this measure promotes fiscal responsibility and accountability in local government spending. This is a common sense measure, and TFR supports SB 1025.
