Contact Governor Schwarzenegger
In addition to contacting your local legislator, you should voice your opposition to the golf tax to Governor Schwarzenegger. Here’s how to contact the Governor:
- Via phone: Call (916) 445-2841. Choose the language for communicating with his office (hit “1” for English, for example). Then hit “5” for current issues and “0” to speak live to a staff member.
- Via email: Go to http://gov.ca.gov/interact and use the form to email your message to the Governor.
- Via mail and fax:
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
State Capitol Building
Sacramento, CA 95814
Fax: 916-558-3160
Please keep in mind:
- Keep your communications concise, respectful, and persuasive.
- Tell elected officials why you think the golf tax is unfair: how golf already pays its fair share of taxes, and how the tax will slash jobs, cut back on city parks programs that golf revenue supports, and hurt many golfers—especially, youth, municipal players, and seniors on fixed incomes.
