This bill would give the names, addresses and tax information of every person in California who files a Schedule C on their Federal taxes, to their city government for the purpose of collecting city taxes and requiring city business licenses. It is part of a trend of similar bills across the country. Although most cartoonists typically don't apply for local business licenses and would owe a big back tax bill if the cities were to find them, we oppose this bill on pirivacy grounds. The names and addresses of our members are strictly private.
Many cartoonists are celebrities.
We all remember the news of the ugly kidnapping attempt on Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz's wife. We feel that if information on our membership were to be given to every city in the state, that would be the same as making that information available to the public. A similar bill was defeated each of the last three years in California, however this year the opposition is not well organized and the bill standsa better chance of passage.
