Got this in my email - regressing the fire tax we are paying, considered by some to be illegal, but you gotta pay before you can fight. >>Fire tax hearing scheduled for November 21st At the same time over 800,000 Californians are now receiving their second round of fire tax bills, the State’s lawyers are delaying resolution of our lawsuit, which argues the fire “fee” is really an unconstitutional tax. In July, a judge ruled our lawsuit could proceed despite the State’s objections and allowed us to file an amended complaint. Now, rather than answering our complaint, the State has instead filed another demurrer, a type of motion that asks the court to dismiss the case without even hearing any evidence. In fact, in a move that could draw out litigation even longer, the State is raising new objections not put forward in their previous demurrer. The hearing is open to the public. If you plan to attend, please arrive a little early, dress appropriately, be quiet and respectful in the courtroom, and turn your cell phone off. If you have a “Burned by the Fire Tax” tee shirt, feel free to wear it. If you want a tee shirt, you can pick one up from our office at 921 Eleventh Street, Suite 1201, Sacramento. Here are the details for the hearing: Date: Thursday, November 21, 2013 Time: 9:00 a.m. Place: Dept. 14, Sacramento Superior Court, 720 Ninth St., Sacramento Remember, a lawsuit is a slow process, and a full resolution can sometimes take years. However, we are making important progress in our fight to protect the rights of taxpayers against this unfair fire tax. We’ve added the latest news about the fire tax to our website!
