Voters in Berkeley, California, soundly rejected a measure Tuesday evening that would have imposed a new tax on hundreds of buildings that have existing natural gas hookups in an effort to fight climate change and reduce emissions.
Berkeley voters defeated the measure by a wide margin, with just 31.8 percent voting in favor of the special tax and 68.3 percent voting against, according to voting data from Alameda County, which includes Berkeley. The city, which is located on the outskirts of San Francisco, has historically voted heavily for Democrats and progressive ballot measures—as of Wednesday afternoon, for example, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris held a 47-point lead over President-elect Donald Trump in Alameda County. more
Not to worry, the Communists in charge will just make it a Fee instead of a Tax…
A fee is just a tax by another name.
They tried that in our town but the people raised such a ruckus that they backed off. They weren’t going to let us vote on it. They were just going to do it.
Then they tried to ban gas powered lawn mowers. That failed so now they’re talking banning gas power lawn equipment in general.
The state is trying to get everyone to “electrify everything”.
Guv Mills has pushed heat pumps to the point of being obnoxious. Even giving rebates. The thing is, it’s still electric heat. It’s not warm and the power that be can shut everything off if you say or do something they don’t like.
Commies, eh?
I don’t think most of the people who vote for this crap even know what they’re voting for. Cal has a record of confusing voters with gabbley-gook propositions.
Thank goodness, looks like about 70% of of voters could read.
