Ventura County Taxpayers Association

County Clerk and Recorder, Michellle Ascencion, explains election integrity and vote counting 🗳️ in #VenturaCounty at our October Breakfast Club. Fun fact: nearly 90% of all ballots cast are mail-in ballots; 40% of them arriving on #Election Day.

We're fighting throughout the entire county on behalf of all Ventura County taxpayers. 🥊 #VCTA #TaxpayerWatchdog We are the voice of the taxpayer promoting fiscal responsibility & government accountability.

If you do nothing else at the polls 🗳️ in November, vote YES on Prop 43. Restore the integrity of Prop 13. Politicians have chipped away at Prop 13. A YES returns the original intention. #YESon43 #SaveProp13 Read: buff.ly/zoCOS63

Things are worse than we first imagined. 😱 Million dollar merchandise. Key decisions made on sticky notes. Read how power runs amok at the Ventura County Office of Education: buff.ly/d39GofN #VCTA #VCOE

If you do nothing else this election cycle, be sure to vote YES on Proposition 43, the Local Taxpayer Protection Act. 🗳️. This proposition restores the two-thirds vote for local, special taxes. #VoteYES #Proposition43

If Prop 42 is the clearest constitutional firewall against wealth and savings taxes. Vote YES. 🗳️ If Proposition 42 receives more votes than Proposition 40, the measure with the most votes prevails. #VoteYES #Proposition42

If Proposition 41 receives more votes 🗳️ than Proposition 40, it constrains the wealth tax. Stronger audit trails of the programs that taxes fund are included, too. We aren't always against things. #VoteYES #Prop41

Despite the "one-time" and "billionaire" branding, Prop 40 sets a precedent for taxing wealth instead of income. 💵 Taxing balance sheets invites valuation fights and capital flight. Vote NO. #VCTA #Prop40

The VCTA 2026 Voter Guide 🗳️ is available. Here is a quick reference guide to our positions on statewide & local issues. It's time voters have a say on how many additional taxes we will bear. Keep this guide handy when you cast your vote. #VCTA #taxes

Research is good. 🔬 Taxpayers paying for it isn't. A $8.4B Bond with no assured way to repay it if treatment proceeds underperform. This cost should not be borne by CA taxpayers. Vote NO. #Prop38 #VCTA

Makes California a second-mortgage lender on new homes. 🏠 What if property values go down or borrowers default? Taxpayers bear the risk. Did we learn nothing from the 2007-08 housing crash? Vote NO. #Prop37 #VCTA

Ending the concurrent successor election during a recall election weakens voter control. 🗳️ Forces a costly 2nd election or leaving the position vacant until succession law fills it. Vote NO. #VCTA #Electon2026

At #VCTA, we're all about accountability, transparency and results. 🔍 We've been taxed for tens-of-billions through #bonds. Government should be better at tracking the results. This idea makes sense. Read: buff.ly/iIFh8Gp

We'll discuss the bonds, measures and propositions on the November 2026 ballot. 🗳️ We will also discuss how the Ventura County Medical System costs taxpayers $1.5M per week. #VCTA #Election2026

Local and state political campaigns should be funded voluntarily by supporters, not by taxpayers who may disagree with the candidate. Vote NO. ❌ #VCTA #taxes Public financing of candidates turns your tax dollars into political speech.

Temporary taxes that never expire are tax INCREASES. Prop 3 locks in the nation's highest top tax rates. Vote NO. ❌ Let this tax expire instead of continuing it to 2031. #VCTA #taxes Force K-12 or community college spending reform.

Allows Sacramento to keep more surplus money when capital gains spike instead of returning it to taxpayers. Rewrites the GANN Limit. Vote NO. ❌ Force Sacramento to make hard spending choices instead. #VCTA #Housing
