Presenter: Lenny Goldberg, Executive Director of the California Tax Reform Association (CTRA)
Wednesday, February 2, 12:30pm to 1:30pm
Pacific Room at Tides, Thoreau Center for Sustainability
Lenny Goldberg will address the ongoing fiscal crisis of the state of California, where the government must operate within the limitations of its existing property tax regime. A major challenge is confronting the irrational and dysfunctional commercial property tax, which costs our cities, counties, and schools billions of dollars each year and makes little sense as law, economics, fiscal policy, or land use. Lenny will describe the California Tax Reform Association's long-term strategy to expose this problem and make it so apparent that a solution can be achieved.
The mission of the CTRA is a fair tax system in California, in order to provide the foundation for a healthy public sector and a successful economy. Founded in 1976, CTRA has been involved as an advocate for fair taxation in virtually every major tax policy debate in the legislature and at the state tax agencies. It has also been involved in many statewide ballot measures involving tax policy, and have provided our expertise in many forums, presentations, articles, and in the media.
