Republican Women of South Lake Tahoe install new officers, have Councilmember Wallace as speaker

The Republican Women of California, South Lake Tahoe (RWC-SLT) recently held a luncheon meeting to install new officers for a new two-year term. SLT City Councilmember Tamara Wallace installed the following officers:

Karen Imhoff, President
Bonnie Halleran, 1st Vice President, Speakers

Lianne Peterson, 2nd Vice President, Membership
Terri Jinkens, 3rd Vice President, Press Communications
Cheri Watson, 4th Vice President, Events
Kathleen Bailey, Recording Secretary
Svetlana Raleigh, Treasurer

The club recently voted to leave the CA Federation of Republican Women (CFRW) and join with the Republican Women of California (RWC). In addition to installing the new officers for the club, Councilmember Wallace spoke about all the new taxes being proposed for the city of South Lake Tahoe:

Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) which, if passed, would make South Lake Tahoe's TOT one of the highest in the Nation;
A $6,000 Annual Vacancy Tax;
A proposal to increase the minimum wage to $23 an hour in SLT

Councilmember Wallace suggests a “no” vote on these initiatives should they make it to the November 2024 ballot. She wrote a detailed report on these troublesome proposed taxes and initiatives. She also encourages her constituents not to sign the Vacancy Tax grab petition, something the RWC-SLT calls taxation without representation.

RWC-SLT meets most months on the second Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information, please email us at: sltrepublicanwomenofca@gmail.com.
