Imagine My Surprise: Calif. Governor Jerry Brown is Just Another Lying Politician

Brown says he’s changed his position on taxes now that he’s been elected to another term. He says he’s open to new non-voter approved taxes that would fund road maintenance and health coverage for low-income Californians, reports Capital Public Radio

It was a core promise of his 2010 campaign, repeated in TV ads, debates and campaign events: No new taxes without voter approval

 

This week,  Brown called two special legislative sessions as part of the state budget deal – one on transportation, the other on Medi-Cal – and he says both could lead to tax increases on products from gasoline to tobacco.
