The California State Assembly and State Senate is convening for a rare Sunday session to take up the 2009-2010 State Budget.

Thanks to Assemblyman Chuck DeVore (R-Irvine, District 70) who is making his posts via Facebook and Twitter on three of the four tax increases that are being proposed by the Democrats, because the tax language proposals are not available at either the State Assembly or State Senate homepages:

1)  SB 76 - $1.9 Billion Crude Oil Tax

2)  SB 77 - $15 Vehicle Tax to fund State Parks

3)  SB 78 - 4.8% tax on Property Insurance Policies to fund firefighting.

Governor Schwarzenegger has vowed that he will veto any tax measures when it reaches his desk.

State Senator Bob Huff (R-Diamond Bar, District 29) comments on his Facebook about today's Sunday session, "The Dems are going to put up tax increase votes on Sunday evening. Do you suppose that is to avoid scrutiny from the press?"

Now, the scrutiny begins here on RedCounty, because every California taxpayers deserve to know what the Democrats are up to with these tax increases.

Update 7:30 PM PST - The 4th tax is a doubling the drivers license fees from $28 to $56 connected to a shift of $300 million in welfare costs to counties.  (Source from Assemblyman DeVore.)

Update 10:00 PM PST - Assembly passed the tax increases by a vote of 44-30, all GOP Assemblymembers  voted No along with 2 Democrats Assemblywoman Alyson Huber (D-El Dorado Hills, District 10) and Assemblyman Manny Perez (D-Coachella Valley, District 80), both are from marginal districts...Surprised they voted NO.
