So.CA.TA collecting signatures for November ballot initiative
Southern California Transit Advocates has joined the effort to collect signatures for the Local Taxpayer, Public Safety and Transportation Protection Act, which would protect voter-approved tax allocation measures (such as Proposition 42, which provides for sales taxes on gasoline sales to be allocated to public transit operations) from being raided by the state Legislature.
If a So.CA.TA member approaches you and requests your signature, we hope you will consider doing so in order to place the initiative on the November 2010 ballot. If you want to help the campaign, you can contact us by clicking the "Feedback" link on the left-hand menu, or visit the campaign site.
