San Francisco Assessor-Recorder Phil Ting discusses Prop. 13 and what YOU can do make change. UC Berkeley, October 26, 2009.
Daveed Kapoor prop 13 is detriment to the future of California. Places all the taxation burden on new buyers. We need equal tax for All. Close the loophole for commercial property owners + residential (do not unfairly burden commercial land owners). has got to be a way to gradually raise the taxes on owners in the loophole.

Yvonne M. Steffen I totally agree with Closing the Loophole and having commercial property owners pay their fair share of property taxes. On the other hand, I fear that Lakoff's Majority Rule Initiative would bankrupt too many private property owners. We would be back where we started years ago when Prop 13 was passed by frightened homeowners.
Sylvia Hampton Yes! Close the big loophole!
According to a recent voter survey, a majority of Californians agree with you and over 5,000 members of Close the Loophole: The corporate tax loopholes in Proposition 13 are a burden Californians can’t afford! ...

Instead, Prop. 13 was to become California's Folly. I thought then, and am firmly convinced now, that the key elements in the proposition - the taxation formula and the two-thirds legislative requirement - would be responsible for causing a fiscal and social disaster.

In November 1978, Harper's magazine published my article on the passage of Proposition 13 under the headline "Californians Rush for Fool's Gold."
Abigail We were talking about the Close the Loophole movement at a recent PTA committee meeting and curious if there is an attempt to get something on the state ballot. Can you let us know where you are in this process?

The biggest loophole is the 2/3 rule which prevents us from closing all the other loopholes. ”All legislative actions on revenue and budget must be determined by a majority vote.” The California Majority Rule Campaign is on the move. Monday Dr. Lakoff, Assembly Leader Toricco, Phil Ting, Naomi Klein and others discuss...ed the budget cuts at UC Berkeley. WDRC signed up over 200 volunteers for the campaign. Four events are scheduled for November so far. http://www.trivalleydems.com/DemocracyIn

The 2009 California budget crisis was one of the worst in the state's history. While no community has gone untouched by the dysfunction in Sacramento, one group will be hit particularly hard by this year's budget disaster: our UC, Cal State and community college students.
