Ballot Question 1:
Sierra Club Urges our members to vote NO
Repealing the State Income Tax would destroy the State’s ability to
protect the environment
While the Sierra Club understands that few people want to pay taxes, the
income tax question on the ballot this fall is a reckless proposal that will
have severe and immediate consequences for all of us. This binding
referendum will take $12.7 billion—nearly 40 percent—out of the state
budget, driving up local property taxes and leading to drastic cuts in
services. Our communities will suffer sweeping cuts to environmental
protection, parks maintenance, public transportation, as well as education,
public safety personnel, social services to the needy and further
deterioration of roads and bridges. Adopting this measure would be a
foolhardy and counterproductive attempt to save money. For more information
on the proposed tax cut, please visit
