Calaveras Taxpayers Association hosting Taxpayer Alert TV - a breaking ground success

Dear Leadership and Friends,

Our first two programs, playing this week, are interviews with Jon Coupal of HJTA and Senator George Runner of the Board of Equalization. (Click on names to see on YouTube.) 

Jon talked about the attacks on Prop 13 and the Fire Tax lawsuit, which he filed against the state. George also discussed the Fire Tax protest procedure and provided other helpful information for the business owner. 

We have scheduled back to back taping of the next two 30 minute Taxpayer Alert Video programs for Monday, August 26, 2013, at 5:15 PM at the PATV studio in San Andreas. The first program features an interview with Rebecca Callen, County Auditor/Controller and the second at 5:45, features Richard Fields representing the Pacific Legal Foundation. Rebecca will be discussing our county budget and Richard will talk about some of the recent Supreme Court wins for the Pacific Legal Foundation. Suggestions for questions are most welcome. The Public Access cable TV programs will be shown several times about two weeks after recording.

If all the cable viewers in Calaveras County would see our our program, only 1/2 of the households could be reached. However, if you know anyone interested in taxpayer issues, please forward this, so they would also have a chance to view the programs.

A big thank you to Tonja Dausend and the many other volunteers that made this possible.

Best regards. - Al
