The phone tax, or more officially known as Measure S, will be on the ballot come Feb 2nd.
Mayor is calling it a 'tax reduction', but is it?
If you ask the voters to reinstate a tax after it’s been thrown out by the courts, it’s a new tax. But if you beat the courts to it — by convincing voters to approve a slightly lower tax before the higher one is invalidated — is it a tax “reduction”?
That's right. The courts area hearing cases about this tax, right now, that might throw it out completely.
The fight around this Measure is the most heated debate in the city, and that's counting the presidential primary on the same ballot.
From the Daily News:
Everything about this tax stinks of the type of bad policy dreamed up by a delusional Los Angeles City Hall crowd in the throes of its addiction.

Actually, the courts threw out the cell phone tax OVER TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO, but Villaraigosa kept collecting and spending the money anyway.
