Michael CrozierPANELIST
I don't know if it's a chain.
Michael CrozierPANELIST
It's in Upland.
Michael CrozierPANELIST
It opened a few months ago.
Michael CrozierPANELIST
And it's one of those like in-and-out type places that it's just a burger and they're just smash burgers.
Susan ShelleyHOST
But if it's dedicated, if the money's locked, earmarked, it needs a two-thirds vote.
Susan ShelleyHOST
Until in 2017, this is from 1978 to 2017, this is how the law was interpreted, 2017 the state Supreme Court decides in a comment in the decision called California Cannabis Coalition versus City of Upland, that if the citizens want to raise their own taxes with a voter initiative, the Constitution doesn't apply.
Susan ShelleyHOST
Prop 13 doesn't apply.
Susan ShelleyHOST
And then the appellate courts underneath the Supreme Court started to cite those comments over and over to say that local special taxes that were proposed by citizens, who are really special interest groups directing the money to themselves, they could pass with just a simple majority, and that has cost California taxpayers billions of dollars.
Scott CoffmanGUEST
Again, our, our, our sister organization, CalTax, has been crunching the numbers for us.
Scott CoffmanGUEST
They have a, they have a great research arm.
Scott CoffmanGUEST
They do a lot of this stuff, and, uh, they calculated that these, these Upland taxes, these, quote-unquote, "citizens' initiatives" that are really just written by and for special interests, whether it be the cities themselves or some other group like a, like a union or a hospital or something, uh, 2.9 billion annually in taxes that should have required a two-thirds vote people are paying, and on this ballot this year, 1.2 billion in new taxes that should require a two-thirds vote.
Susan ShelleyHOST
So this is not small change that we're talking about.

Susan ShelleyHOST
We are against that tax increase.
Susan ShelleyHOST
We're against the Measure ES tax increase proposal in the city of Santa Monica, which is a giant parcel tax of, I think, $475 a year.
Susan ShelleyHOST
for the schools again and we just think that's too much and it's not something that we support and that's also an upland tax that's going to squeak through that upland loophole with a simple majority instead of two-thirds as is the fire department tax in the city of los angeles that's another one of these We call it the Upland Tax because it's the Upland case, California Cannabis Coalition versus City of Upland, that started all this trouble by opening this hypothetical loophole, which subsequent court decisions in the lower courts have widened.
Susan ShelleyHOST
And you know, all of these cases in the appellate courts were appealed back to the California Supreme Court.
MikeHOST
He picked the title while substitute teaching for an English class.
MikeHOST
