Re: Written letter to be entered in the Public record and made available for public Inspection
for the October 26, 2023 Palm Springs City Council meeting - Agenda Item: 1-D (ACA-13 /
ACA-1 letters)
Dear current City Council,
This letter is in strong opposition to this political body making ANY recommendations in
regards to California's legislative actions.
It's been repeatedly demonstrated that actions of City Council do NOT align with City
Resident's/Businesses/Guests that fund City operations. It's crystal clear that the current City
Council is out of touch with Working-class families and local small businesses.
Having (one) City Council members (Middleton) openly discuss Assembly Constitutional
Amendment (ACA) bill(s) weeks in advance of having City staff construct a bias assessment
(Staff report) in regards to ACA-13 and ACA-1 is extremely alarming. Please consider that
both current City Council members (Middleton and Holstege) have announced their ambitions
to leave City Council if elected to other State held positions.
Common sense dictates that ACA-13 and ACA-1 would harm ALL Californians. Those
political amendments if established would "Harm Democracy" - and criticality damage every
California taxpayer with Ever-Increasing property taxes and other governmental overreach -
California's legislative power grabs shouldn't be supported by a very out-of-touch City
Council that doesn't represent the majority of City taxpayer's.
California's Proposition 13 as stands, continues to be Strong protection for taxpayers (Home
owners) from the money hungry State of California (Palm Springs City Council members).
Oppose this overwhelming overreach!
Sincerely,
10/26/2023
