Assembly Republicans Vote to Protect Yacht Owners

(Sacramento) -- Assembly Republicans are protecting the wealthy, yacht-owners from paying taxes on their expensive boats. Assembly Budget Committee Chairman John Laird (D-Santa Cruz) chastised the Assembly Republicans during the floor debate over a bill to eliminate a tax loophole big enough to float a yacht through, saying, "As we cut education and medical care, it is unconscionable to let yacht owners off the hook for playing a role in fixing our state budget problem." Here more from Assemblymember Laird in his own words in this Assembly Access video...
