Sacramento, CA – The California Taxpayers Association has given Sen. Strickland a perfect score on their annual Voting Record.

“I’m honored to have once again received a perfect score from the California Taxpayers Association,” Sen. Strickland said. “I have always been and will continue to be an advocate for taxpayers throughout California.”

“Hardworking Californians are continually treated like the government’s own personal ATM machine and it’s got to stop,” Sen. Strickland added. “We need to maximize the precious dollars that already do come to Sacramento and instead of raising taxes yet again, focus on job-creation and putting people back to work.”

Founded in 1926, the California Taxpayers Association is the state's largest and oldest organization representing taxpayers. Established as a nonpartisan, non-profit research and advocacy association, CalTax has a dual mission to guard against unnecessary taxation and to promote government efficiency. Their 2011 Legislative Voting Record is based on the bills which would most affect the health of California’s economy.
