A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING CAL
CITIES IN ITS OPPOSITION TO BALLOT MEASURE — "THE
TAXPAYER PROTECTION AND GOVERNMENT
ACCOUNTABILITY ACT" (INITIATIVE 21-0042A1)
WHEREAS, an association representing California's wealthiest corporations and
developers is spending millions to push a deceptive proposition aimed for the November 2024
statewide ballot; and
WHEREAS, the measure includes undemocratic provisions that would make it more
difficult for local voters to pass measures needed to fund local services and infrastructure, and
would limit voter input by prohibiting local advisory measures where voters provide direction on
how they want their local tax dollars spent; and
WHEREAS, the measure creates new constitutional loopholes that allow corporations to
pay far less than their fair share for the impacts they have on our communities, including local
infrastructure and our environment; and
WHEREAS, the measure may make it much more difficult for state and local regulators
to issue fines and levies on corporations that violate laws intended to protect our environment,
public health and safety, and our neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, the measure puts billions of dollars currently dedicated to local services at
risk and could force cuts to fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, parks,
libraries, affordable housing, services to support homeless residents, mental health services,
and more,
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNTIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA,
HEREBY RESOLVES, that the City of Rancho Cucamonga opposes Initiative AG # 21-0042A1;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Rancho
Cucamonga will join the NO on Initiative 21-0042A1 coalition, a growing coalition of public
safety, education, labor, local government, and infrastructure groups throughout the state.
