Regarding the latest multiple-fatality accident on Highway 152's

Referring to the Public Notice you published in today's edition about the proposed tax/fee increases by county board, please find attached my memo written while serving on two chambers' (Gilroy and Hollister) Government Review Committees about the taxation power in the wake of the California Supreme Court's decision holding that a government imposed fee was not a tax, and thus taxpayers in California lacked constitutional protections from government fees which we had against government taxes. Well, as you know the U.S. Supreme Court later ruled just the opposite: a government imposed fee is a tax. But Californians were stuck with our Supreme Court's interpretation, and my predictions in my memo have come true.
