Taxing California
Mac Taylor has served since 2008 as the nonpartisan fiscal advisor to both houses of the California Legislature and oversees the preparation of annual fiscal and policy analysis of the state’s budget and programs. With more than 30 years of experience in the Legislative Analyst Office, Taylor brings a wealth of experience to analysis of California’s public policy.
With numerous proposals being debated in California to change the way people are taxed—from measures to extend the temporary taxes adopted in 2012 to major changes in the sales and property taxes—Taylor will explore the state’s tax system and analyze its major strengths and weaknesses. He will also address the issues that likely will be discussed—and voted on—in the coming year.
Mr. Taylor’s Athenaeum talk is sponsored by the Rose Institute of State and Local Government at Claremont McKenna College.
