Jon Coupal Quotations

I would say Chris is a very intelligent, aggressive tax advocate, and it would be great if every community had someone like him.

We run the risk of (wealthy residents) leaving the state or changing their behavior to avoid this tax.

It's precisely the wrong direction to take. I'm befuddled by this because this was a governor who had recognized that pension costs are unsustainable for taxpayers.

Most property taxpayers understand intuitively that 'revisiting Proposition 13' is code for doing away with the protections that provide security to homeowners.

We're trying to help other states offer some form of tax relief because of the very problem we see in Nevada we're seeing around the country - rapidly escalated values and people being taxed out of their homes.

As a matter of policy, we never like mandatory insurance.

At the end of the day, this is public money.

Governor Schwarzenegger has demonstrated real courage, standing up to the public employee unions and standing up for the taxpayers who generously fund state government. California's past governor spent one time revenues on ongoing projects, which have led to the massive deficits that we are still working to pay off. California needs Prop. 76 to prevent this type of reckless spending from occurring in the future.
