Proposition 88 (property tax for education): NO

  • Proposition 88 Education Funding. Real Property Parcel Tax
    Should the California Constitution be amended to levy an annual $50 real property tax on most parcels with the funds allocated to five K-12 education programs?
I'd need to research the needs and effectiveness of each of the programs this would benefit, but my initial vote is No. The last thing we need is to make it even more difficult for people to live in their own home in California.

I do like the exemption of elderly and disabled homeowners from the tax, and will look for that in future legislation.
