Brown Accuses Prop. 30 Foes of Illegal Money Laundering

On Saturday, Gov. Jerry Brown (D) accused the Small Business Action Committee PAC -- which opposes Proposition 30, the November ballot tax hike measure he developed with supporters of the "Millionaires Tax" -- of illegal money laundering. Brown's remarks came after an Arizona-based group contributed $11 million to the SBAC PAC to help defeat the measure. An SBAC PAC spokesperson said Brown's comments do not have merit, calling them a "politically motivated attack."

It seems to me that this is a case of the Pot calling the Kettle black. If anyone is guilty of "money laundering" it is the Governors and legislature of the state of California. As long as I can remember the California government has been getting bills passed that are to benefit specific groups such as schools, the poor, pick your favorite group and then through legislative slight of hand and legal maneuvering "laundered" the money into another "area of need". I will not vote for any ballot issue that raises any tax of any kind on anybody anywhere in the state! The whole bunch of them are liars, cheats and thieves.
