The difference is not that people in LA are turning against taxes, but simply the difference in who voted in November 2012 and March 2013. City elections like Tuesday’s draw a smaller, older, more conservative voter base, than national general elections do. Also, your article doesn’t make it clear that while Measure A (sales tax), a city measure, did indeed lose by a vote of 45% yes to 55% no, last week, the vote on November 2012’s Measure J (transportation), a county measure, was 66.11% yes, to 33.89% no, falling just short of the two-thirds needed. It failed because of the two-thirds requirement, not because the public was against it. Only a fraction over a third were against it.

Now that the tax payers have voted down the tax increase, don’t expect to see any potholes filled anytime soon. Just go down to the local donut shop and you’ll find all the road crews. They ain’t doing nothing till they get their 100 grand pension.

They just cut off their noses to spite their faces. Every penny spent in town goes to the sales tax. Why not let the visitors help.
