Reprieve for Prop 13

link - Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association

The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association helped stop the majority party from gaining a supermajority in the Legislature. If they had a supermajority, they could put a Prop. 13 repeal on the ballot, but since taxpayers stopped them, Prop. 13 is safe for the time being.

...But for now, let’s enjoy the victories just achieved. Just in time for the coming holiday, taxpayers and homeowners in California have much to be thankful for. And while we realize our reprieve will be short and that we must prepare for battle anew in a few short weeks, these victories give us the much needed hope that California can, once again, become the Golden State it once was.
