California voters, despite the state's blue political leanings and high tax rates, are becoming increasingly critical of ballot measures that introduce new taxes. The state's high taxation includes retail sales, personal and corporate incomes, and property values, which result in elevated property tax bills. Specific taxes on items like fuel, utilities, and medical care are also mentioned.
