Newsbrief: LA equity group opposes unlicensed operator tax
An equity group has asked Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) to reject a proposal to tax the city's unlicensed operators. In a letter circulating today, non-profit Social Equity LA argues doing so would defeat the purpose of having a social equity program.
This month City Council voted for Angelenos to vote on taxing unlicensed operators on June 2, the day of the California primary. Moving forward requires approval from Bass.
Social Equity LA argues taxing unlicensed operators would lead to uneven enforcement and normalize illegal activity . . .
