California proposed sales tax on veterinary services

I respect others' political views and limit my posts on politics to things that help animals, such as Proposition 2 which resoundingly passed in California.

For my fellow Californians, I wanted to point out that Governor Schwartzenegger is planning to raise sales taxes as a means to help the budget deficit, as well as other measures such as an additional tax on alcoholic beverages, etc. I don't take issue with most of his proposals, but I do take exception to his proposed coverage of veterinary services under the sales tax.

Sales taxes are supposed to be SALES taxes, not services taxes, and particularly not on something like medical care for our beloved animals. If you are a Californian who feels similarly, please go to this website to sign the petition against taxing veterinary care. Thank you.
