Taxes touch on almost every issue we face in California, from funding education to filling potholes. Tax policy deeply affects the state’s interaction with local governments and shapes important perceptions about the business climate. In my public service career, I have grappled with many aspects of tax policy. As chief deputy director for budget with the California Department of Finance, I was responsible for developing the state’s budget in a time of volatile revenue cycles. As a member of the State Board of Equalization, I see how the complexity of the tax code affects small businesses and other taxpayers. As the state’s chief fiscal officer, I am responsible for managing cash flow with continued revenue volatility.
