IN SUMMARY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Does the governor’s tax rebate plan follow California’s constitution? His finance director says yes, but an anti-tax activist isn’t so sure.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Back in the 1970s, anti-tax advocates passed an amendment to California’s constitution designed to put the state government on a diet.<\/p>\n

Four decades later, Gov. Gavin Newsom is now proposing to use that same policy tool — beloved by small–<\/strong>government conservatives — to rechannel billions of dollars collected primarily from the Golden State’s highest earners to working and middle–<\/strong>class Californians, families with children and undocumented immigrants.<\/p>\n
