His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Unemployment benefits provided a lifeline for the 38-year-old Los Angeles housekeeper to leave a bad relationship and rent an Airbnb while she looked for a job. But in early October, her state-issued Bank of America debit card balance plummeted from around $400 to negative $1,100 after a credit for fraudulent charges from months earlier was reversed without warning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So began her unofficial full-time job trying to get the money back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s kind of like a nightmare,” Moore said. “Every day I’m wondering what’s more important.

Now, Moore is among those \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2020/10/unemployment-benefits-frozen-accounts-edd/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">entangled by potential security lapses and payment errors\u003c/a> involving Bank of America, which since 2010 has had an exclusive contract to deliver state unemployment benefits through prepaid debit cards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a breakdown of the state’s job safety net that raises questions about the best way to get money into the hands of workers who desperately need it, since California is one of only three U.S. states that does not offer a direct deposit option, according to a CalMatters review of public documents. To this day, it’s not clear how much Bank of America has made from handling the bulk of the unprecedented $109 billion California has paid out in benefits since March. Lawmakers are examining the bank’s role in payment issues that began during a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletters/whatmatters/2020/09/california-unemployment-benefits-edd-report/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">two-week identity-verification update\u003c/a>, and whether the bank has provided adequate security for unemployment insurance money in the face of rampant fraud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://flo.uri.sh/visualisation/4335937/embed?auto=1\" width=\"100%\" height=\"700\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bank of America, whose contract is up next July, declined to answer detailed questions about how many unemployed Californians are still unable to use their debit cards, how much money has been withdrawn from accounts flagged for potential fraud, when and how claimants may be paid back or how much the bank has made in fees on the cards. The state told CalMatters that some 377,500 debit cards were frozen this fall and as of Thursday, around 350,000 accounts remain impacted, meaning progress has been slow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unfortunately, there has been billions of dollars of fraud during this pandemic in state unemployment programs, including California,” Bank of America said in a statement to CalMatters, urging those impacted to \u003ca href=\"https://prepaid.bankofamerica.com/EddCard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">contact the bank\u003c/a>. “We are working with the state and law enforcement to identify and take action against fraudulent applicants, protect taxpayer money and ensure that legitimate applicants can access their benefits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For San Francisco Assemblymember David Chiu, a progressive Democrat who authored a 2019 \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB857\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">public banking bill\u003c/a> and has pushed to reduce state reliance on Wall Street, the confusion marks “another failure” by the state and its corporate vendors. The employment agency hinted it was the bank’s fault, insisting in an Oct. 29 \u003ca href=\"https://edd.ca.gov/About_EDD/pdf/news-20-58.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">statement\u003c/a> that it “has no direct access to debit funds on any accounts” and that those impacted by card issues should contact Bank of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re playing the blame game. Someone needs to take responsibility for this,” Chiu said. “I think we’re going to have to revisit that contract if BofA can’t provide the services it promised.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state agency said it will review all options this summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Banking on debit cards\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In August 2011, California was still in the depths of the Great Recession. Unemployment was 12.1%, and the state was paying out $66 million a day in jobless benefits. But at the state agency, a major tech overhaul was underway after a new debit card contract with Bank of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At no cost to the state, the bank had begun rolling out prepaid cards to replace paper unemployment checks. It would be faster and more efficient, the EDD argued in \u003ca href=\"https://www.edd.ca.gov/About_edd/pdf/uimonthlyupdate0811.pdf\">a public report\u003c/a> at the time, and much more accessible to Californians without bank accounts. The bank promised to share some revenue from merchant transaction fees with the state and guaranteed low fees for the unemployed: a few dollars for multiple ATM withdrawals, $10 for expedited or lost cards, and normal merchant fees whenever the card is swiped. “Terms are more favorable than most people have for their own personal bank accounts,” the 2011 report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result was what United Way of California Communications Director Unai Montes-Irueste calls a “NASCAR card,” thanks to its flashy corporate logos for Visa and Interlink. Most other states have moved from paper checks to direct deposit or hybrid debit card and direct deposit systems. This past spring, millions of Californians received their federal coronavirus stimulus payments via direct deposit to personal bank accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, California was far from alone in betting that debit cards would be a big part of the future of government benefits. Use of the cards exploded in the last decade at state, local and federal agencies as Bank of America, U.S. Bank, KeyBank, Comerica and others pursued more government contracts. By 2016, government agencies had paid out $146 billion in benefits through prepaid debit cards, generating $518 million in revenue for banks, the Federal Reserve reported. Today, 43 states use a combination of direct deposit and debit card systems, which consumer groups favor to reach unemployment claimants with the widest variety of financial situations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michele Evermore, a senior policy analyst at worker advocacy group the National Employment Law Project cautioned that banks acting as middlemen in debit card contracts can sometimes divert funds from workers — a missed opportunity for economic stimulus. “It may seem like a 2% fee here and a 2% fee there doesn’t amount to much, but in the aggregate, it really does,” Evermore said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://flo.uri.sh/visualisation/4336082/embed?auto=1\" width=\"100%\" height=\"700\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, paper checks are still available by request, and Bank of America notes that debit card customers can transfer the money from the card to their own bank accounts — both time-consuming alternatives, said Lauren Saunders, associate director of the National Consumer Law Center.

The employment agency has not yet responded to a CalMatters request for records of revenue and fees related to the debit card contract.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Debit card problems pile up\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, the stories of Californians dealing with debit card problems continue to pile up. For Santa Maria single mother Aimy Onan, a drained account meant falling behind on rent and moving into a shared bedroom with her daughter in her ex’s home with a new girlfriend. For furloughed Disney candy maker Julie Hansen, a negative $12,000 balance threatened her ability to care for her autistic son. For Demarcus Sparks, who was self-employed before the pandemic, a frozen debit card led to a Greyhound trip from L.A. to stay with his mom in Georgia for fear of ending up in a shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They treat you like trash,” said Paul Dease, a 52-year-old antiques dealer in San Diego County, who has been locked in a dispute with Bank of America over $1,000 withdrawn from his account without notice. “How many people have the same story I have, that have lost $1,000 or $800 and haven’t gotten it back?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That much remains unclear. Chiu said lawmakers also have yet to receive updated account information, or answers about the “mind boggling” omission of \u003ca href=\"https://squareup.com/us/en/townsquare/why-are-chip-cards-more-secure-than-magnetic-stripe-cards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">microchips in the cards to root out fraud\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bank of America declined to comment on the security of California’s unemployment debit cards. But bank personnel also say their own outdated customer service systems have contributed to claimants’ financial purgatory. The bank’s internal processes for reporting and investigating unemployment debit card complaints have led to long delays and shifting timelines, two workers told CalMatters, as they juggle antiquated technology and shifting corporate scripts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re actually no longer allowed to tell them a timeframe, because we have no clue,” said one Bank of America customer service worker, who asked to remain anonymous since they were not authorized to discuss the matter. “Every day, I talk to 30 people with the same story.

Until fraud is detected, Bank of America reaps normal transaction fees every time the cards are swiped under the terms of its state contract. The bank promised California “best-in-class” fraud monitoring in its original unemployment debit card pitch, and assured the state that “EDD has no liability for issues related to fraud.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But amid the unemployment surge during the pandemic, Beverly Hills Assistant Police Chief Marc Coopwood said much of the burden has fallen on local law enforcement, rather than EDD or the bank, to uncover such schemes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The real victim in this, the people whose identities were stolen, they’re going to get a \u003ca href=\"https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/fbi-sees-spike-in-fraudulent-unemployment-insurance-claims-filed-using-stolen-identities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">1099 next year\u003c/a>,” Coopwood said. “They’re going to spend years fighting this with the IRS.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lawsuits ahead?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Where California goes from here to remedy its unemployment woes isn’t clear. The EDD has vowed to work through its remaining backlog of 542,000 unpaid unemployment claims by January.

To this day, it’s not clear how much Bank of America has made from handling the bulk of the unprecedented $109 billion California has paid out in benefits since March.

The state told CalMatters that some 377,500 debit cards were frozen this fall and as of Thursday, around 350,000 accounts remain impacted, meaning progress has been slow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unfortunately, there has been billions of dollars of fraud during this pandemic in state unemployment programs, including California,” Bank of America said in a statement to CalMatters, urging those impacted to \u003ca href=\"https://prepaid.bankofamerica.com/EddCard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">contact the bank\u003c/a>. “We are working with the state and law enforcement to identify and take action against fraudulent applicants, protect taxpayer money and ensure that legitimate applicants can access their benefits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For San Francisco Assemblymember David Chiu, a progressive Democrat who authored a 2019 \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB857\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">public banking bill\u003c/a> and has pushed to reduce state reliance on Wall Street, the confusion marks “another failure” by the state and its corporate vendors. The employment agency hinted it was the bank’s fault, insisting in an Oct. 29 \u003ca href=\"https://edd.ca.gov/About_EDD/pdf/news-20-58.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">statement\u003c/a> that it “has no direct access to debit funds on any accounts” and that those impacted by card issues should contact Bank of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re playing the blame game. Someone needs to take responsibility for this,” Chiu said. “I think we’re going to have to revisit that contract if BofA can’t provide the services it promised.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state agency said it will review all options this summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Banking on debit cards\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In August 2011, California was still in the depths of the Great Recession. Unemployment was 12.1%, and the state was paying out $66 million a day in jobless benefits. But at the state agency, a major tech overhaul was underway after a new debit card contract with Bank of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At no cost to the state, the bank had begun rolling out prepaid cards to replace paper unemployment checks. It would be faster and more efficient, the EDD argued in \u003ca href=\"https://www.edd.ca.gov/About_edd/pdf/uimonthlyupdate0811.pdf\">a public report\u003c/a> at the time, and much more accessible to Californians without bank accounts. The bank promised to share some revenue from merchant transaction fees with the state and guaranteed low fees for the unemployed: a few dollars for multiple ATM withdrawals, $10 for expedited or lost cards, and normal merchant fees whenever the card is swiped. “Terms are more favorable than most people have for their own personal bank accounts,” the 2011 report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result was what United Way of California Communications Director Unai Montes-Irueste calls a “NASCAR card,” thanks to its flashy corporate logos for Visa and Interlink. Most other states have moved from paper checks to direct deposit or hybrid debit card and direct deposit systems. This past spring, millions of Californians received their federal coronavirus stimulus payments via direct deposit to personal bank accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, California was far from alone in betting that debit cards would be a big part of the future of government benefits. Use of the cards exploded in the last decade at state, local and federal agencies as Bank of America, U.S. Bank, KeyBank, Comerica and others pursued more government contracts. By 2016, government agencies had paid out $146 billion in benefits through prepaid debit cards, generating $518 million in revenue for banks, the Federal Reserve reported. Today, 43 states use a combination of direct deposit and debit card systems, which consumer groups favor to reach unemployment claimants with the widest variety of financial situations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michele Evermore, a senior policy analyst at worker advocacy group the National Employment Law Project cautioned that banks acting as middlemen in debit card contracts can sometimes divert funds from workers — a missed opportunity for economic stimulus. “It may seem like a 2% fee here and a 2% fee there doesn’t amount to much, but in the aggregate, it really does,” Evermore said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://flo.uri.sh/visualisation/4336082/embed?auto=1\" width=\"100%\" height=\"700\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, paper checks are still available by request, and Bank of America notes that debit card customers can transfer the money from the card to their own bank accounts — both time-consuming alternatives, said Lauren Saunders, associate director of the National Consumer Law Center. In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nclc.org/images/pdf/pr-reports/report-prepaid-card-2013.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2013 report\u003c/a>, the organization found that despite the relatively consumer-friendly terms in the state’s Bank of America unemployment contract, Californians paid almost $1.8 million in fees in a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bank of America referred questions about fees generated by its California unemployment contract to EDD. The employment agency has not yet responded to a CalMatters request for records of revenue and fees related to the debit card contract.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Debit card problems pile up\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, the stories of Californians dealing with debit card problems continue to pile up. For Santa Maria single mother Aimy Onan, a drained account meant falling behind on rent and moving into a shared bedroom with her daughter in her ex’s home with a new girlfriend. For furloughed Disney candy maker Julie Hansen, a negative $12,000 balance threatened her ability to care for her autistic son. For Demarcus Sparks, who was self-employed before the pandemic, a frozen debit card led to a Greyhound trip from L.A. to stay with his mom in Georgia for fear of ending up in a shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They treat you like trash,” said Paul Dease, a 52-year-old antiques dealer in San Diego County, who has been locked in a dispute with Bank of America over $1,000 withdrawn from his account without notice. “How many people have the same story I have, that have lost $1,000 or $800 and haven’t gotten it back?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That much remains unclear.

But bank personnel also say their own outdated customer service systems have contributed to claimants’ financial purgatory. The bank’s internal processes for reporting and investigating unemployment debit card complaints have led to long delays and shifting timelines, two workers told CalMatters, as they juggle antiquated technology and shifting corporate scripts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re actually no longer allowed to tell them a timeframe, because we have no clue,” said one Bank of America customer service worker, who asked to remain anonymous since they were not authorized to discuss the matter. “Every day, I talk to 30 people with the same story.

From \u003ca href=\"https://www.kcra.com/article/edd-fraud-involves-stolen-identities-dark-web-international-crime/34289860#:~:text=Thousands%20of%20envelopes%20containing%20fraudulent,possibly%20an%20international%20crime%20ring.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dark web conspiracies\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/18/us/nuke-bizzle-fraud-youtube.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YouTube rap videos\u003c/a>, the range of apparent fraud could cost the state “hundreds of millions,” Sacramento Assemblymember Jim Cooper predicted at a recent EDD hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one instance, Beverly Hills police arrested 100 people and seized 200 fraudulent unemployment debit cards worth more than $4 million after a series of shopping sprees on Rodeo Drive. Until fraud is detected, Bank of America reaps normal transaction fees every time the cards are swiped under the terms of its state contract. The bank promised California “best-in-class” fraud monitoring in its original unemployment debit card pitch, and assured the state that “EDD has no liability for issues related to fraud.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But amid the unemployment surge during the pandemic, Beverly Hills Assistant Police Chief Marc Coopwood said much of the burden has fallen on local law enforcement, rather than EDD or the bank, to uncover such schemes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The real victim in this, the people whose identities were stolen, they’re going to get a \u003ca href=\"https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/fbi-sees-spike-in-fraudulent-unemployment-insurance-claims-filed-using-stolen-identities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">1099 next year\u003c/a>,” Coopwood said. “They’re going to spend years fighting this with the IRS.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lawsuits ahead?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Where California goes from here to remedy its unemployment woes isn’t clear. The EDD has vowed to work through its remaining backlog of 542,000 unpaid unemployment claims by January. Bank of America said it has increased staffing at prepaid customer service centers “nearly 20-fold” to deal with unprecedented demand, and that it continues “to review and decision claims in a timely fashion and within the regulations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu said he is one of multiple state lawmakers considering new EDD reform bills in the coming year. Several unemployment claimants interviewed by CalMatters said they have contacted lawyers about bringing potential claims against Bank of America. Labor lawyers also see courtrooms in EDD’s future if problems persist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m skeptical this will be resolved without litigation,” said Daniela Urban, director of Sacramento’s Center for Workers’ Rights. “I think that it’s warranted.

Local sales taxes in the Bay Area can add up to 2% on top of that — and in some cases more, in cities that have received special approval from the state Legislature. As a result, a growing number of Bay Area cities have total tax rates approaching 10% on the retail sale of items like furniture, appliances, toilet paper and other household goods, as well as other common purchases, including clothing, gasoline and restaurant food. (Housing, groceries, health care and vehicle maintenance are among a long list of exemptions.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sales taxes have long been an essential source of funding for state and local governments nationwide. Particularly now, amid the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, cash-strapped cities and counties are increasingly dependent on revenues generated from those taxes to fund basic services. Parsons notes that SPUR, for one, has been a longtime advocate of sales tax measures to fund public transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The number of sales taxes in the region continues to grow,\" she said. \"Over the last several election cycles ... many of those measures on the ballot have been sales tax measures, not just for transit, but for child care, for road repair, for public safety. So, we're aware of the continued rise of sales taxes in the region.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, as the report spells out, sales taxes — unlike income taxes — are considered \"regressive,\" meaning that everyone pays the same rate at the register, regardless of their income. Cumulatively, that amount ends up being a much higher percentage of a poorer person's income than that of a wealthier person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, the report finds that Bay Area households in the lowest-fifth income tier — those making under $30,000 a year — on average pay an estimated 5.5% of their incomes in sales tax. Meanwhile, those in the highest income tier \u003cstrong>— \u003c/strong>those who make more than $163,000 — pay just 1.5% of their income in sales tax, even though they typically spend more in absolute dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The idea that folks in the Bay Area who make less than $30,000 a year are paying almost 6% percent of their total income just on sales taxes, just on toilet paper and household goods from Target or from the corner store — it was surprising to see those numbers in full light,\" Parsons said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11847551\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1236px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/8UZsN-.png\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11847551\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/8UZsN-.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1236\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/8UZsN-.png 1236w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/8UZsN--800x497.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/8UZsN--1020x634.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/8UZsN--160x99.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1236px) 100vw, 1236px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: SPUR \u003ccite>(Matthew Green/KQED )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For the estimated 3.3 million households in California who live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to meet basic monthly needs like housing and child care, that disproportionate sales tax burden can be particularly detrimental, the report stresses. And in the Bay Area, like elsewhere in the state, that burden falls disproportionately on Black and Latino households, who are much more likely to have lower incomes and pay a greater share of it on sales taxes. The report notes that while white households are fairly evenly distributed among the region's five income tiers, Black households make up 31% of the lowest-income group, despite accounting for about 6% of the Bay Area's total population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The disproportionate impact of these sales taxes is fundamentally racialized,\" Parsons said. \"Black households, households of color are overrepresented at the lowest end of the income spectrum here in the Bay Area.

The most sweeping proposal consists of a state sales tax credit that would be eligible to households with incomes under $35,000, and administered much like California's earned income tax credit. Under this system, nearly 25% of Bay Area residents would be eligible for an average annual credit of $1,048, a nearly full reimbursement of the total local sales tax burden they pay each year, the report estimates. Regionally, it would cost an estimated $669 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"income-inequality\"]The report notes that while this would likely be the most impactful option, it would also be the hardest to implement,\u003cstrong> as\u003c/strong> the state Legislature would first have to give the California Franchise Tax Board authority to administer the credit in partnership with Bay Area governments. In the absence of statewide support, a regional tax credit system for the Bay Area is also within the realm of possibility, Parsons notes, but \u003cstrong>is\u003c/strong> even less feasible, as it would require the creation of a regional funding source and an entity to collect local taxes and distribute the credits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, Parsons suggests that California expand its sales tax to cover largely tax-free items like most digital products and services. She notes that the amount of revenue the state raises from sales taxes has been declining because the tax system has failed to keep pace with consumption trends over the last 25 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think that that could raise additional revenue, something that the state very much needs. But it would also create some more equitable impacts as well, given that higher-income folks tend to spend more on services than lower-income folks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A more narrow but realistic option outlined in the report is a sales tax supplement that cities or counties could oversee and offer to low-income residents, using funds set aside from any new sales taxes or increases. That, however, would only offset the burden created by any new sales tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the third and easiest proposal to implement, local governments could simply offer low-income residents a flat-dollar cash benefit to offset some of their sales tax burden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Say it's $250 a year. If you make less than $30,000 a year in income, you are automatically eligible to receive that amount,\" Parsons said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At the local level there will be, we expect, plenty of opportunities where local governments are going to be looking for more revenue, and they have an opportunity to make these revenue sources more equitable,\" she said. \"Particularly now, this is a time where we need to be doubling down on the financial security of Californians.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",
