Orange County Taxpayers Assoication has been a respected voice in Orange County for over 20 years.  The analysis and policy papers authored by its leaders are followed and read by lawmakers and legislatiors throughout Orange County and the State of California.

Below is a sampling of what local elected officials have to say about OC Tax:

Senator Lou Correa:  “We need a balance between taxes and services in order to govern effectively.  OCTax helps make sure when taxes are collected, they provide for the services that are needed, and that taxpayer dollars are invested wisely and effectively.”

Senator Tom Harman:  “Keeping government spending in check is important, especially in Sacramento.  OCTax works hard to educate elected officials about tax policies that help Orange County.”

Assemblyman Chuck Devore:  “Taxpayers and businesses need strong advocates in the halls of government.  OCTax helps elected officials to make policies that represent the interests of taxpayers.”

Assemblyman Jose Solorio:  “Responsible spending by government assures taxpayers that their taxes are being spent in beneficial ways across the community.  OCTax helps make sure tax policies and spending decisions do just that.”

Assemblyman Van Tran:  “Taxpayers want to know their tax dollars are well spent and that government runs lean.  OCTax is a watchdog to make sure that happens, and is making a difference.”
