DeSaulnier has represented the citizens of this area for the last six years in both houses of the state legislature. DeSaulnier has received an F rating every year he has served in the legislature. If you compare his report cards alongside each of the current state senators, you will quickly discover that DeSaulnier has the worst voting record on taxpayer issues of any current Senator in Sacramento. Howard Jarvis’ Legislative Report Cards on DeSaulnier are as follows:
2008 – 12.3%
2009 – 0%
2010 – 15.2%
2011 – 14.9%
2012 – Not yet released
Average grade 9.16% (This means that DeSaulnier votes against the taxpayers 91.84% of the time).
After seeing DeSaulnier’s voting record, Meuser replied “This year the choice is real clear for the citizens of Contra Costa and Alameda County. Do they want a representative who works for the taxpayers or do they want someone who works against the taxpayers?”
Last week, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association Political Action Committee endorsed Meuser for the California Senate. They stated, “We believe you will be an excellent representative for taxpayers and look forward to working with you in the years ahead.” Meuser is honored to have received this endorsement. Meuser stated, “It is time for the citizens of Contra Costa and Alameda counties have a representative who will fight for the taxpayer.”
Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is dedicated to protecting Proposition 13 and promoting taxpayers’ rights. The Association creates a Legislative Report Card each year to assist voters in understanding how their elected officials vote on tax increases that are often masqueraded as fees.
Mark Meuser is a candidate for State Senate District 7. You can follow him on Facebook.
Stop whining and blaming Democrats for your own stupidity.
The fact is the Establishment Republican Party is the reason for the lack of success in California . There is just not enough of a difference between a establishment Republican (one who seems to cave in and capitulates to ridiculous Democratic demands they know are wrong in order to preserve the status quo and further their careers) and a run of the mill Democrat. The true Conservatives are more along the lines of Tea Partiers and the Libertarians who have real beliefs and will draw a line in the sand based on those. Truth is the Tea Party is the best shot you have to save this state and country. But that would be lost on you since it is all about unrestrained abortion with no rules at taxpayer expense and unlimited access to pot, right? When I get to the root of Dems objections to Conservatives it is those 2 things or they are just part of the entitlement class (Public Employees, Union members, and Welfare/Sec8ers/Scammers) hell bent on keeping theirs at the expense of others whjo are paying for their lifestyle.
In comparison to the fiscal shape of the state of california (completely run by democrats) the republican party fiscal health is quite good. Yes I lowered the bar quite low but that is how bad of shape our once great state is in and the trend and outlook look very bad.. Keep electing democrats and keep wondering why we are going over the fiscal cliff. And of course blame all of the on George Bush. When you get your new talking points please feel free to post them. One party total control (any party) is bad for the people unless you are a party stooge.
I understand your bitterness and anger I probably would feel the same way if Mueser and Romney were my candidates. The Bush years were pretty miserable too and it certainly proved to many of us that Republicans have ZERO credibility when it comes money. Republicans/Tea Partiers- Outraged over Public Spending since 1/20/2009
So you would throw the baby out with the bathwater over a couple of social issues vs fixing the real disfunctions of our government? or are you just using the government as your personal charity to asuage your guilt from being one of the 1%ers?
So go ahead and support Dems all you want you just be endorsing the same tired policies that have resulted inthe economy we now have.
Let's agree to disagree and cancel each other out at the polls.
