We Decide Coalition Be August 10, 2016 cs = Hon. Barbara Cegavske ag S sai Nevada State Capitol Building Pam oh 101 North Garson Street, Suite 3 Carson City, NV 89701 Dear Secretary Cegavske, During the 2014 election campaign, Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval never proposed raising over a billion dollars worth of taxes on the people, businesses and tourists of Nevada. To the contrary, he actively campaigned against a proposed gross receipts tax «the so-called “Margins Tax" - which appeared on the ballot last November and was rejected by almost 80 percent of Nevada voters. Nevertheless, Gov. Sandoval proposed, and the 2015 Nevada Legislature approved, a new gross receipts/margins tax which has been misleadingly and disingenuously re-named the “Commerce Tax.” {In addition, the 2009 Nevada Legislature passed a series of supposedly “temporary” tax hikes over the veto of then-Gov. Jim Gibbons. The Legislature, at the time, promised the people, businesses and tourists of Nevada that those tax hikes would expire — "sunset" — in 2011. Instead, both the 2011 and 2013 Nevada Legislatures extended those “temporary” tax hikes for an additional two years and the 2015 Nevada Legislature voted to make those "temporary" tax hikes permanent rather than let them sunset as promised. 1sPage‘The 2016 Legislature also increased other taxes and included all of them — totaling a projected tax hike in excess of $1 billion - in one omnibus bill, SB483. ‘The people of Nevada reserve the right to approve or disapprove acts of the Legislature through the referendum process outlined in Article 19: Initiative and Referendum of the Nevada Constitution. Section 1 of Article 19 specifies that... “A person who intends to circulate a petition that a statute or resolution or part thereof enacted by the legislature be submitted to a vote of the people, before circulating the petition for signatures, shall file a copy thereof with the secretary of state.” AAs required - and on behalf of the more than 800 individuals listed below - please accept the attached copy of the referendum we intend to circulate for signatures in order to place this act of the Legislature to a vote of the people. Since, Charles A.
