First-ever water tax proposed to tackle unsafe drinking water in California
Summary: Where would the money come from? The proposal would generate roughly $110 million per year through a 95-cent monthly fee on home water bills as well as taxes on businesses of up to $10 per month. Another $30 million would come from higher fees on agricultural and dairy businesses, industries whose chemicals contribute to the problem of contaminated groundwater.
My thoughts, this and California's $15 minimum wage and overtime pay for migrant workers will certainly raise food prices on California food. RJA at a long term double bottom? Looks good to me. Cal leads the way in many things, especially taxes. Other states to follow?
