Sneak Attack on Prop 13

A warning from the folks at Howard Jarvis.

Because the CLAA would be approved as a constitutional amendment, it
would dismantle the taxpayer protections contained in Proposition 13,
which caps property taxes at one percent of assessed values. Although
parcel taxes are allowed at the local level under Proposition 13, they
now require a two-thirds vote. By going to a statewide election,
promoters hope to impose the new statewide tax on property owners with
a simple majority vote. Since they have the ability to spend millions
on deceptive advertising, this threat to property tax payers is real.
