posted by lbaker:You guys in CA think you have it bad, I just received my property tax bill and it's more than doubled since last year (before we had a Republican gov). It's now over $3,600 >>>>>>>


is right!!
Time for you to REVOLT, and get something on the ballot..

Calif. had the same problem, and I believe it was Howard
Jarvis that got Prop 13 on the ballot and thankfully
we passed it. Saved many elderly and fixed income
residents from loosing their homes.
After that CA. officials tried to do anything they could
to upset prop 13, Courts held it up, and voters
have kept prop 13 safe so far, I think it would
be political suicide for politicians to mess with it
at this point, but they do try by tying bonds issues
to the property tax.
I NEVER vote for any bonds that have to do with property tax).

After 7 years plus, studies have been done, and
since most people usually do not stay in their house for more than
5 years the arguements against prop 13 does not pass gas anymore.
