Governor Newsom opposes the Taxpayer Protection Act.

The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act (TPA) is facing opposition from Governor Newsom and the Legislature, who filed a lawsuit to remove the measure from the November general election ballot. The TPA aims to close loopholes in Proposition 13 and provide additional taxpayer safeguards, such as allowing voters to approve or reject new state and local taxes, increasing transparency and accountability, and preventing "hidden taxes" disguised as fees. The organizations defending the TPA include the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association and the California Business.
