"content": "\u003cp>Just a sampling from around the state...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp> \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/2011/02/01/3366912/dan-walters-jerry-browns-plan.html\">\u003cem>Dan Walters, Sacramento Bee\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nBrown's Solomon-like plan faces two very high political hurdles – and a very tight time frame to boot. One is a Legislature dominated by very liberal Democrats and very conservative Republicans. The former are feeling heat from advocates for the poor, elderly and disabled who oppose the billions of dollars in permanent \"safety net\" spending cuts Brown wants, while the latter are being pressed by anti-tax groups to oppose tax extensions. Outwardly, nothing Brown said Monday appeared to change any minds. Republicans continued to oppose taxes while Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez, who has close ties to public employee unions and other budget stakeholders, reacted very coolly, portraying Brown's budget as \"worthy of serious consideration by every member of the Legislature.\" \u003c!--more--> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/capitalnotes/2011/01/31/new-governor-familiar-fight/\">\u003cem>Capital Notes\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nOne wonders how much longer the relatively civil political climate that's dominated state politics these last few weeks can continue.\u003cbr>\nIn fact, there's a case to be made that it ended Monday night... when Governor Jerry Brown publicly prodded legislative Republicans, and they quickly fired back...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You heard what I heard,\" said Assembly GOP Leader Connie Conway. \"It's always about the taxes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others were more critical. \"The governor and legislative Democrats are throwing around nothing but hyperbole and scare tactics to justify doubling your car tax and raising your sales and income taxes,\" said state Sen. Tony Strickland (R-Moorpark) in an emailed statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In interviews on the Assembly floor, Republicans also worked to debunk the idea that there should be a special statewide election in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Right now the Legislature is capable of making the decisions that need to be made,\" said Senate GOP Leader Bob Dutton (R-Rancho Cucamonga). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.calitics.com/diary/13085/state-of-the-state\">\u003cem>Calitics\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWhile (Brown) has been reluctant to point the proverbial gun at anybody's head, that is what is pointing at our heads right now. If we simply go for a cuts only regime, there simply won't be the cuts that we need to make to balance this thing. That's especially true if Brown follows up on his no gimmicks plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, this budget is far from a real winner. There is no real attempt to go after revenue that is a) more progressive and b) better for the state's economy. Let's face it, the sales taxes that he has proposed are far too weighted towards the poor and middle class as a percentage of income. The oil severance tax still hasn't come up in a serious way. It's just been a toss away from one Democratic legislator or another. (It was Tom Ammiano's turn in his press release last night.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We need real sustainable revenue that will pull us out of this boom/bust cycle. The revenues Brown is calling for makes for a decent emergency rescue plan, it's not a real solution. \">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/2011/02/01/3366873/brown-puts-the-ball-in-other-sides.html\">\u003cem>Sacramento Bee editorial\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nThat proposal offers nearly every interest group something to hate. Big city mayors fear his plan to eliminate redevelopment. Lobbyists and advocates defend the interests of clients, wealthy and poor. Professional conservatives who operate tax-exempt nonprofit corporations are raising money from their adherents by taking the undemocratic stand that voters should be left out of the equation. But as Brown noted, naysayers offer no alternatives, other than to urge that he gore someone else's ox. California needs to get back on track, and Brown's budget is a starting point, imperfect as it is. Although he's called for cuts in cell phone use and state cars, the governor needs to delineate further what cuts must take place to achieve $12.5 billion in cost savings. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/01/31/ED031HGP13.DTL\">\u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle editorial\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nOn most big topics, Brown was by his own admission vague on the details. On pension reform, for example, he suggested he was open to others' ideas on how to reform the system so that it is fair to taxpayers and state workers. His few moments of impassioned advocacy were reserved for his proposal to put the tax increases to voters in a June special election. He quoted the state Constitution and even invoked the struggles for democracy in Egypt and Tunisia in pushing for legislators to extend what were supposed to be temporarily higher taxes in upper incomes, sales and vehicle licenses. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://foxandhoundsdaily.com/blog/joe-mathews/8561-i-got-your-budget-alternatives-right-here\">\u003cem>Fox & Hounds Daily\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nThe address felt like a slap in the face. Republicans got the open hand for refusing to consider tax increases (or even give the public a chance to vote on tax increases). Democrats and interest groups got hit for refusing to identify alternatives to cuts they oppose. Those shots were plenty fair. Brown's targets are guilty as charged. But Brown might consider finding a lower horse to ride, for he is not without sin in this budget business himself. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown's budget is more honest than recent documents, but it's not a panacea. Its tax increases are temporary, not permanent. There's plenty of one-time money and even a few gimmicks.

One is a Legislature dominated by very liberal Democrats and very conservative Republicans. The former are feeling heat from advocates for the poor, elderly and disabled who oppose the billions of dollars in permanent \"safety net\" spending cuts Brown wants, while the latter are being pressed by anti-tax groups to oppose tax extensions. Outwardly, nothing Brown said Monday appeared to change any minds. Republicans continued to oppose taxes while Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez, who has close ties to public employee unions and other budget stakeholders, reacted very coolly, portraying Brown's budget as \"worthy of serious consideration by every member of the Legislature.\" \u003c!--more--> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/capitalnotes/2011/01/31/new-governor-familiar-fight/\">\u003cem>Capital Notes\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nOne wonders how much longer the relatively civil political climate that's dominated state politics these last few weeks can continue.\u003cbr>\nIn fact, there's a case to be made that it ended Monday night... when Governor Jerry Brown publicly prodded legislative Republicans, and they quickly fired back...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You heard what I heard,\" said Assembly GOP Leader Connie Conway. \"It's always about the taxes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others were more critical. \"The governor and legislative Democrats are throwing around nothing but hyperbole and scare tactics to justify doubling your car tax and raising your sales and income taxes,\" said state Sen. Tony Strickland (R-Moorpark) in an emailed statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In interviews on the Assembly floor, Republicans also worked to debunk the idea that there should be a special statewide election in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Right now the Legislature is capable of making the decisions that need to be made,\" said Senate GOP Leader Bob Dutton (R-Rancho Cucamonga). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.calitics.com/diary/13085/state-of-the-state\">\u003cem>Calitics\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWhile (Brown) has been reluctant to point the proverbial gun at anybody's head, that is what is pointing at our heads right now. If we simply go for a cuts only regime, there simply won't be the cuts that we need to make to balance this thing. That's especially true if Brown follows up on his no gimmicks plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, this budget is far from a real winner. There is no real attempt to go after revenue that is a) more progressive and b) better for the state's economy. Let's face it, the sales taxes that he has proposed are far too weighted towards the poor and middle class as a percentage of income. The oil severance tax still hasn't come up in a serious way. It's just been a toss away from one Democratic legislator or another. (It was Tom Ammiano's turn in his press release last night.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We need real sustainable revenue that will pull us out of this boom/bust cycle. The revenues Brown is calling for makes for a decent emergency rescue plan, it's not a real solution. \">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/2011/02/01/3366873/brown-puts-the-ball-in-other-sides.html\">\u003cem>Sacramento Bee editorial\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nThat proposal offers nearly every interest group something to hate. Big city mayors fear his plan to eliminate redevelopment. Lobbyists and advocates defend the interests of clients, wealthy and poor. Professional conservatives who operate tax-exempt nonprofit corporations are raising money from their adherents by taking the undemocratic stand that voters should be left out of the equation. But as Brown noted, naysayers offer no alternatives, other than to urge that he gore someone else's ox. California needs to get back on track, and Brown's budget is a starting point, imperfect as it is. Although he's called for cuts in cell phone use and state cars, the governor needs to delineate further what cuts must take place to achieve $12.5 billion in cost savings. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/01/31/ED031HGP13.DTL\">\u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle editorial\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nOn most big topics, Brown was by his own admission vague on the details. On pension reform, for example, he suggested he was open to others' ideas on how to reform the system so that it is fair to taxpayers and state workers. His few moments of impassioned advocacy were reserved for his proposal to put the tax increases to voters in a June special election. He quoted the state Constitution and even invoked the struggles for democracy in Egypt and Tunisia in pushing for legislators to extend what were supposed to be temporarily higher taxes in upper incomes, sales and vehicle licenses. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://foxandhoundsdaily.com/blog/joe-mathews/8561-i-got-your-budget-alternatives-right-here\">\u003cem>Fox & Hounds Daily\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nThe address felt like a slap in the face. Republicans got the open hand for refusing to consider tax increases (or even give the public a chance to vote on tax increases). Democrats and interest groups got hit for refusing to identify alternatives to cuts they oppose. Those shots were plenty fair. Brown's targets are guilty as charged. But Brown might consider finding a lower horse to ride, for he is not without sin in this budget business himself. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown's budget is more honest than recent documents, but it's not a panacea. Its tax increases are temporary, not permanent. There's plenty of one-time money and even a few gimmicks. And with California's dysfunctional system constantly working to reduce revenues and add new spending mandates, Brown's plan certainly won't fix the budget problem once and for all. It kicks the can down the road, albeit further down the road than recent budgets. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his speech, Brown went overboard big time, suggesting he's the only one making serious budget proposals.

The increased property taxes resulting from redevelopment activity are referred to as “tax increment.” State law allows redevelopment agencies to pledge tax increment so that they can repay bonds and other types of debt incurred to make investments in project areas.

For property that hasn't changed hands since 1978, the tax-assessed value remains the same. Prop 13 only allows a revaluation of property once it's sold, which explains why some people pay higher property taxes than others who have almost the exact same home. The nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office has reported that before Prop 13, the average statewide property tax was 2.67%, which means the drop to 1% was pretty noticeable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop 13 also caps the annual increase in property taxes at 2%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's important to note that Prop 13's limits apply to all property, both residential and commercial. And that's been a source of debate through the years, as some have argued that voters approved Prop 13 to protect their homes, not company and corporate buildings. As such, that's why some continue to believe Prop 13 should be amended to apply only to residential property, thus allowing higher property taxes on commercial/business property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that's not all Prop 13 did. It also raised the requirement for new taxes -- both locally and from the Legislature -- requiring a supermajority (2/3) of either voters or legislators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Question\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWho was against it and who was for it? And who exactly was Howard Jarvis? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>John Myers\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nProp 13 was written by two men: Howard Jarvis, an apartment- building owner in Los Angeles, and Paul Gann, an anti-tax crusader in Sacramento. But it was the curmudgeonly Jarvis who became the folk hero during the Prop 13 campaign, tapping into a popular resentment and worry about property tax rates. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fundamental question, as many have written, wasn't whether property tax rates should be lowered, but how? Gov. Jerry Brown and the Legislature, widely criticized for acting too slowly to address concerns around the state about property taxes, hurriedly put an alternative measure on the June 1978 ballot -- arguing Prop 13 was the wrong fix. But by the time lawmakers got involved, the popular uprising was simply too strong to stop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Question\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWas there a lawsuit? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>John Myers\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThere have been several legal challenges to Prop 13, mostly focused on whether it properly changed the state constitution. Initiatives (measures placed on the ballot by voter signatures) can only deal with one change to the constitution -- and not multiple changes. But the California Supreme Court has ruled that Prop 13 is legit, and so it remains in full effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Question\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhat were the implications of the loss of that property tax revenue?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>John Myers\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThe property tax revenues that disappeared under Prop 13 meant less money for schools, fire, police, etc. And here's where a big decision shaped what we now live with today: state leaders, including then/now Gov. Brown, agreed to replace the former local dollars with state tax dollars, thus leading to the state subsidizing/paying for much of what happens on the local level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Question\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nSo is Prop 13 the \"original sin\" of California budget woes?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>John Myers\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nProp 13 has both supporters and critics, so it's hard to objectively call it a \"sin.\" But it did have a dramatic impact, especially through the years, on the state budget. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also had another, perhaps unintended, consequence that's been pointed out by Joe Mathews and Mark Paul in their book \"California Crackup\": it transferred a lot of political power (which follows the money) away from local communities and toward Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Question\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWas Proposition 13 a harbinger of the ascent of Ronald Reagan and Reaganomics? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>John Myers\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nRonald Reagan, who was a fiscal conservative as governor (1966-1974), was likely able to ride some of the anti-tax anger into a national political victory in 1980. Keep in mind that Prop 13 spawned other efforts in other states, many of them led by Howard Jarvis, who saw the victory as one which would change the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Question\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nHow sacrosanct is Proposition 13 in the state? Is it the third rail of California politics? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>John Myers\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nVirtually no one opposes Prop 13's cap on residential property taxes, though there are some interesting academic and economic theories about what impact that might have had through the years on property values. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where Prop 13 has remained controversial is in its coverage of commercial property, and its imposition of the 2/3 tax vote in Sacramento. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Question\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nAnti-tax groups seem pretty vigilant about protecting Proposition 13...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>John Myers\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nIt does have its protectors -- most notably, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.hjta.org/\">Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association\u003c/a> -- and much of the fighting is over tax increases of all kinds. Prop 13 is also the most recognizable \"brand\" in California politics, which makes its many provisions a real political landmine to change... should someone want to.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Brown, agreed to replace the former local dollars with state tax dollars, thus leading to the state subsidizing/paying for much of what happens on the local level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Question\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nSo is Prop 13 the \"original sin\" of California budget woes?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>John Myers\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nProp 13 has both supporters and critics, so it's hard to objectively call it a \"sin.\" But it did have a dramatic impact, especially through the years, on the state budget. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also had another, perhaps unintended, consequence that's been pointed out by Joe Mathews and Mark Paul in their book \"California Crackup\": it transferred a lot of political power (which follows the money) away from local communities and toward Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Question\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWas Proposition 13 a harbinger of the ascent of Ronald Reagan and Reaganomics? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>John Myers\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nRonald Reagan, who was a fiscal conservative as governor (1966-1974), was likely able to ride some of the anti-tax anger into a national political victory in 1980. Keep in mind that Prop 13 spawned other efforts in other states, many of them led by Howard Jarvis, who saw the victory as one which would change the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Question\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nHow sacrosanct is Proposition 13 in the state? Is it the third rail of California politics? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>John Myers\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nVirtually no one opposes Prop 13's cap on residential property taxes, though there are some interesting academic and economic theories about what impact that might have had through the years on property values. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where Prop 13 has remained controversial is in its coverage of commercial property, and its imposition of the 2/3 tax vote in Sacramento. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Question\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nAnti-tax groups seem pretty vigilant about protecting Proposition 13...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>John Myers\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nIt does have its protectors -- most notably, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.hjta.org/\">Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association\u003c/a> -- and much of the fighting is over tax increases of all kinds. Prop 13 is also the most recognizable \"brand\" in California politics, which makes its many provisions a real political landmine to change... should someone want to.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
