Also, my reading says everyone’s rent (edit: and child care!) is going up 10%, but hopefully, I’m wrong: > It is the intent of the Legislature to fund the CalUBI Program with a value-added tax of 10 percent on goods and services, except medicine, medical supplies and equipment, educational materials, including textbooks, tuition or fees for education, food, groceries, and clothing.
