Issue Position: Lower All Taxes and Fees on Californians

Issue Position

California has the fifth-highest tax burden on individuals in the country. This model is unsustainable. In reality, the state of California has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. Laurie will never vote to raise taxes or fees on Californians. Instead, she will be a strong advocate for reducing waste within the current system to get better results for the people of California.

Laurie's record for the City of Laguna Niguel shows that fiscal responsibility works. As a member of the city council, she helped institute a Pay As You Go budget process rather than loaning money through bonds. The policy had an immediate impact, leading to City Hall being built on time and under budget, and continues to make local government more effective and efficient.
