Priorities Spotlight - California Business Roundtable Votes to Oppose CFT/Courage Campaign and Munger Tax Initiatives
At their spring Board meeting on Thursday, March 8, the California Business Roundtable voted to oppose the following statewide initiatives currently circulating for the November ballot:
- Millionaires Tax to Restore Funding for Education and Essential Services Act of 2012 sponsored by the California Federation of Teachers and the Courage campaign.
- Our Children, Our Future: Local Schools and Early Education Investment and Bond Debt Reduction Act sponsored by Molly Munger.
“We recognize the Governor’s leadership to address the state budget crisis and as business leaders we are working to pass the economic reforms that will help get California back on track through increased private sector investment which will create more jobs and ultimately increase revenues to the state,” said Jerry Carnahan, Chairman of the Roundtable.
