Ovit urges legislature to pass budget without raising taxes
Gary Ovitt, chairman of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, sent a letter to state legislative members Tuesday urging them to pass a budget without raising taxes.
"In these trying economic times, it makes no sense to to saddle county residents to pay for an archaic, inefficient budget that makes life more difficult for those we serve," Ovitt said in a news release. "Tax increases are not the answer. It makes an already untenable situation worse."
Ovitt will present a board agenda item at the supervisors' next meeting on Feb. 24 to officially make part of the public record the board's opposition to tax hikes to help balance the state budget.
