Group Will Host Jon Coupal
Press Release

Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Assn. (HJTA), will speak in Mission Viejo on Thurs., Nov. 19, at 7 p.m. Saddleback Republican Assembly will host the meeting at Atria del Sol, 23792 Marguerite Pkwy.

Coupal will speak about his experiences in HJTA, the largest taxpayers association in California. The organization has more than 200,000 members. Founded by the late Howard Jarvis, author of Prop 13, HJTA’s name is synonymous with tax relief and the defense of the California homeowner.

Coupal served as director of legal affairs for HJTA, and he defended Prop 140, the state’s term-limit initiative, before the California Supreme Court. In 1995, he won a major ruling before the Supreme Court with Prop 62, guaranteeing the right to vote on local taxes. He has served as chairman of such initiative campaigns as the one against Prop 88, the statewide parcel tax initiative and the successful defeat of Prop 1A.

The Nov. 19 meeting will be held in Atria del Sol’s first-floor dining room, and everyone is invited to arrive early for refreshments prior to the meeting. Atria del Sol is on the northeast corner of Marguerite Pkwy and Casta Drive, and extra parking is available in the lot on the south side of Casta Drive, behind the tennis courts and Nadadores’ swim facility.

Admission is free, and guests are welcome. For additional information, call SRA President Matt Corrigan or Kathy Corrigan, (949) 830-8088.
