Re: Prop S

That's exactly what I thought at first, but if you read through the Voter Info Pamphlet they send residents, the rebuttal to the argument in favor of prop s states

•"Prop S would raise -- not reduce -- taxes by restoring the 2003 tax hike and creating a new internet and wireless tax" (although I dont know what tax hike there was in 2003)
•"City Hall would tax you for using the internet, wireless networks, text messaging, instant messaging, VoIP and similar services."

That second bullet is what I was most concerned about.

I'd hate for that to happen, tax for wireless, text, and IM? That would absolutely suck.

Then again, IM is free, so taking a % of 0 wouldnt be much collected.

This is the provisions that are concerning me though:
