2011 First Special Legislative Session

Day 30 Update - State debt statutory limit ... done, cash portion of the Capital Budget ... done, bond portion of the Capital Budget ... done. Now we're looking at increasing document recording fees by another $10 for low-income and homeless housing assistance. We challenged whether the bill is a tax or a fee, but of course the Democrat Majority ruled it a fee. Interestingly, the liberal 9th Circuit Court once ruled ... "no amount of semantic sophistry can undermine the obvious; a non-negotiable mandatory payment into the state treasury for unrestricted use, is a TAX" (emphasis added)
