We earlier posted an entry about a bill that passed in the state assembly which closed a corporate tax loophole and used the funds generated for tuition reduction and UC and CSU. To get the needed 2/3 for a tax vote, two non-Democrats were required. One was a renegade Republican. The other was an Independent (former Republican), Nathan Fletcher of San Diego. Fletcher posted a YouTube video explaining his vote. As also noted earlier, since a 2/3 vote would also be needed to pass this bill, it is unlikely to be enacted. Nonetheless, the explanation by Fletcher is of interest.The Fletcher video is below:
