And now with the state — and especially the Bay Area — in the middle of a housing crisis, voters are being asked to double down on Prop 13.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: Problem is, it doesn’t really increase the housing stock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: Today, Erika Aguilar and the team at “The Bay” podcast will dig into the pros and cons of Prop 5. Stick around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: So let’s start at the beginning. First of all tell me your name and a little bit about yourself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KENNETH WILKINS: Oh god.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: Kenneth Wilkins is a longtime resident of North Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: Scott Shafer is senior editor of the California Politics and Government Desk at KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: Just spell your name for me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WILKINS: Kenneth. K-E-N-N-E-T-H.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: He’s been there… He was born basically in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: And so you moved here, you said ’86?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WILKINS: 1976.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: It’s a beautiful neighborhood. It’s very quiet… tree-lined streets, mostly single-family homes, a few larger apartment buildings. There’s a lot of construction going on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WILKINS: It seems like everyone who purchased a house, they are refurbishing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: He was walking me down the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WILKINS: This house was the Dickson’s here. And they were here when I came in 1976. And this one here, Mr. Armstrong — he helped us with some plumbing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: So he’s been on the block for 40 some years. How much was that house when he first bought it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: Well, it was very funny. He pointed to a car, his car that was parked in front of the house. And he said…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WILKINS: Actually it cost less than this car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: Is that right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WILKINS: This car cost $21,000 I think. And it was less than that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: It was like a Toyota. But it wasn’t a Tesla. It was like a beat up Toyota.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: Wow. So that’s just representative of what the housing market looked like back then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: It’s not something he could find in the cushions of his couch. He had to get a loan. But nonetheless you get a sense of how much it’s gone up. Those houses now sell for three quarters of a million or more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WILKINS: I never dreamed that a house would be sold for over a million in this neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: But they do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WILKINS: But they do.\u003cbr>\n[2018-prop prop=5]\u003cbr>\nAGUILAR: I want to get into Proposition 5, but before we do that, I feel like we have to talk about Proposition 13. So can you tell me the story of how Proposition 13 became a California law?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: Yeah, you have to go back to the late-to-mid-1970s. Jerry Brown was governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NEWS CLIP: After two terms of Ronald Reagan’s conservatism, California voters, who elected Jerry Brown as governor last year, were expecting several changes in state policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: The cost of everything was going up quickly because inflation was high, and back then, local governments could raise the property taxes whenever they wanted to. And so if they needed to pay for something, they raised property taxes a little bit, and so people’s tax bills were going up as the value of their homes went up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NEWS CLIP: Inflation’s hit the standard of living particularly hard here and soaring property taxes have been a major factor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: People, especially seniors, on fixed incomes were having a hard time staying in their homes. And at the same time the state had a pretty big budget surplus. And so there was all this talk in Sacramento about, “Well gee, why don’t we give people a tax rebate?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: But that didn’t happen. So there was this frustration building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HOWARD JARVIS: I am forming the American Tax Reduction Movement for the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: There were two guys, Howard Jarvis and Paul Gann, who became the spokespeople for this tax revolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NEWS CLIP: And the purpose of this amendment is, number one, to reduce the amount of money that government takes in in taxes because we think the only way you can cut spending is to not give them the money in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: What was the reaction to it? How popular was it back then?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: It was really popular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NEWS CLIP: Proposition 13 caused what may be a record voter turnout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: I mean this was a really overwhelming passage. It probably got about 65 percent of the vote in 1978.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>JARVIS: We have proven that here in California, that we the people, not the politicians, are still the boss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: A thunderous response from Howard Jarvis…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: Proposition 13 did a few things. First, it taxed homes based on their 1976 values. Then for anyone buying a house after that, Prop 13 set the property tax rate at just 1 percent of home sales price. And it can only be increased by a maximum of 2 percent each year until the house is sold again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: It has taken a lot of money away from schools. Those local property taxes are used to fund programs including education. I think when Prop 13 passed, California was near the top in per pupil spending. Now we’re more toward the bottom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: Back to Ken. What does Proposition 13 mean for him? Like how does it affect him considering that there’s a lot of movement along his block?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: Well, he’s clearly benefited from it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: And do you remember if you voted for it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WILKINS: I think I did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: His tax bill is, I don’t know exactly what it is, but it’s a lot less than somebody who lives next door and just bought the house and is paying taxes based on the market rate assessment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: Can people move their low property tax rates around right now? Or does it just stick to the house or property that you own?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: If you’re 55 years or older or severely disabled, you can buy a home of the same or less value and take that with you to another county… if that county has agreed to accept that lower value.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: So not all counties are in on this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: Not all counties. In fact, most counties are not, so just about 10 of the 58 counties in California have agreed to accept this lower tax rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: So what problem is Proposition 5 trying to solve?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: If you talk to realtors or if you talk to seniors…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CLIP: California realtors have an important chance to protect California’s homeowners and extend much needed property tax protection to seniors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: They have these big homes that they’re rattling around in, and they really would like to downsize. The problem is they’ve got this great deal on their property tax because they’ve been there so long and so they know if they move and buy a market value home, their tax rate is going to go way up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CLIP: It will remove an unfair move-in penalty or property tax spike that prevents many seniors from selling their single family home in order to downsize or move closer to their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: The argument here is that they will sell their big house, move to a smaller house and free up their bigger house for young families that want a three- or four-bedroom place. The problem of course is can a young family afford to buy that house?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: Who has introduced Proposition 5? Like who backs it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LYNDA EISENMANN: Hi, my name is Lynda Eisenmann. I’m a broker, real estate broker in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: The California Association of Realtors — and their national association as well — have kicked in at least $7 million to collect the signatures to get it on the ballot and then presumably to spend some of that money to help get it passed. They have an interest in it. You know, if you sell a house you get a commission, so they like that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>EISENMANN: It’s when people stay put that we have a more stagnant market in general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: OK. Who’s on the other side? Like who is against Proposition 5?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: Local governments are opposed to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: Tenants rights groups?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: Tenants groups. Yeah. I mean all these groups, including education advocates, they’re afraid that schools are going to get less money. David Chiu is an assemblyman from San Francisco. He is a big opponent of Prop 5. He thinks it’s a big tax giveaway to people who don’t really need it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CHIU: Prop 5 is an enormous tax break for longtime wealthy property owners who get to pile on more tax breaks on top of what they already have. While renters and first-time home buyers continue to face higher home prices it does nothing to actually address the housing crisis, and it continues to exacerbate the income inequality that is unfortunately the story all over the state of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: And the legislative analysts who analyzed this said it’s going to ultimately cost local governments about a billion dollars in lost revenue in the coming years if Prop 5 passes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: Wow. So what does Ken think about Proposition 5? Does he think he’s going to vote for Proposition 5?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: You know he’s really thinking about it. He’s not sure. He clearly would benefit himself. On the other hand, he’s not in a big hurry to sell his house and move. In fact, he said “I’d like to be here till I’m 99 years old.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WILKINS: In our case, I don’t think we will sell the property. We’ll pass it on to our grandkids and the grandkids’ kids and so forth. My daughter said, “No don’t sell it. Don’t sell it. When we get old enough, we won’t be able to buy a house.” Which pretty much came true, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: She was right. That said, I think he likes the idea of Prop 5, but also he’s very thoughtful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WILKINS: I think it might affect the tax base for those other counties or cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: You’re right. And what would that mean?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WILKINS: Actually it would be something, I mean, to really think about before you voted against it or for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: Now Prop 5 is not the only housing-related prop on the ballot. The one getting the most attention is about expanding rent control, Prop 10. We’ll have a whole episode about that one on Friday. But there are a couple of other housing props we want to flag for you. First, Prop 1.\u003cbr>\n[2018-prop prop=1]\u003cbr>\nVOICE OVER: Should the state issue $4 billion in bonds to fund the construction of affordable housing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: Money from Prop 1 would be used to give out low-interest loans for multi-family housing projects. It would also be used to help veterans buy homes. This would give California more housing, but some people say the real barrier to building is bureaucratic red tape and this wouldn’t address that. The $4 billion bond would ultimately cost California taxpayers just short of $6 billion over the next 35 years. And then there’s Prop 2.\u003cbr>\n[2018-prop prop=2]\u003cbr>\nVOICE OVER: Should the state be allowed to use money intended for mental health services to pay for housing for homeless Californians?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: Back in 2004, voters passed Prop 63 which raised taxes on millionaires to fund mental health services. Lawmakers want to use some of that money to pay for housing for people with mental illness. But it’s not clear if they can legally do that. Prop 2 clears everything up. It would allow the state to issue $2 billion in bonds to fund housing projects for people who are homeless and have mental illness. And it would let those bonds be paid back using tax revenues from Prop 63. The so-called housing first method has worked to curb homelessness elsewhere, but putting this money toward housing would mean there would be less going toward treatment and other services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Theme music\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: I know we’ve thrown a lot at you today, so if you have more questions about any of this — especially Prop 5 — we’re having a Facebook Live where we can dig in even more.

And now with the state — and especially the Bay Area — in the middle of a housing crisis, voters are being asked to double down on Prop 13.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: Problem is, it doesn’t really increase the housing stock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ALLEN-PRICE: Today, Erika Aguilar and the team at “The Bay” podcast will dig into the pros and cons of Prop 5. Stick around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: So let’s start at the beginning. First of all tell me your name and a little bit about yourself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KENNETH WILKINS: Oh god.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: Kenneth Wilkins is a longtime resident of North Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: Scott Shafer is senior editor of the California Politics and Government Desk at KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: Just spell your name for me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WILKINS: Kenneth. K-E-N-N-E-T-H.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: He’s been there… He was born basically in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: And so you moved here, you said ’86?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WILKINS: 1976.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: It’s a beautiful neighborhood. It’s very quiet… tree-lined streets, mostly single-family homes, a few larger apartment buildings. There’s a lot of construction going on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WILKINS: It seems like everyone who purchased a house, they are refurbishing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: He was walking me down the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WILKINS: This house was the Dickson’s here. And they were here when I came in 1976. And this one here, Mr. Armstrong — he helped us with some plumbing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: So he’s been on the block for 40 some years. How much was that house when he first bought it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: Well, it was very funny. He pointed to a car, his car that was parked in front of the house. And he said…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WILKINS: Actually it cost less than this car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: Is that right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WILKINS: This car cost $21,000 I think. And it was less than that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: It was like a Toyota. But it wasn’t a Tesla. It was like a beat up Toyota.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: Wow. So that’s just representative of what the housing market looked like back then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: It’s not something he could find in the cushions of his couch. He had to get a loan. But nonetheless you get a sense of how much it’s gone up. Those houses now sell for three quarters of a million or more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WILKINS: I never dreamed that a house would be sold for over a million in this neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: But they do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WILKINS: But they do.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\nAGUILAR: I want to get into Proposition 5, but before we do that, I feel like we have to talk about Proposition 13. So can you tell me the story of how Proposition 13 became a California law?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: Yeah, you have to go back to the late-to-mid-1970s. Jerry Brown was governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NEWS CLIP: After two terms of Ronald Reagan’s conservatism, California voters, who elected Jerry Brown as governor last year, were expecting several changes in state policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: The cost of everything was going up quickly because inflation was high, and back then, local governments could raise the property taxes whenever they wanted to. And so if they needed to pay for something, they raised property taxes a little bit, and so people’s tax bills were going up as the value of their homes went up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NEWS CLIP: Inflation’s hit the standard of living particularly hard here and soaring property taxes have been a major factor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: People, especially seniors, on fixed incomes were having a hard time staying in their homes. And at the same time the state had a pretty big budget surplus. And so there was all this talk in Sacramento about, “Well gee, why don’t we give people a tax rebate?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: But that didn’t happen. So there was this frustration building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HOWARD JARVIS: I am forming the American Tax Reduction Movement for the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: There were two guys, Howard Jarvis and Paul Gann, who became the spokespeople for this tax revolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NEWS CLIP: And the purpose of this amendment is, number one, to reduce the amount of money that government takes in in taxes because we think the only way you can cut spending is to not give them the money in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: What was the reaction to it? How popular was it back then?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: It was really popular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NEWS CLIP: Proposition 13 caused what may be a record voter turnout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: I mean this was a really overwhelming passage. It probably got about 65 percent of the vote in 1978.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>JARVIS: We have proven that here in California, that we the people, not the politicians, are still the boss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>REPORTER: A thunderous response from Howard Jarvis…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: Proposition 13 did a few things. First, it taxed homes based on their 1976 values. Then for anyone buying a house after that, Prop 13 set the property tax rate at just 1 percent of home sales price. And it can only be increased by a maximum of 2 percent each year until the house is sold again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: It has taken a lot of money away from schools. Those local property taxes are used to fund programs including education. I think when Prop 13 passed, California was near the top in per pupil spending. Now we’re more toward the bottom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: Back to Ken. What does Proposition 13 mean for him? Like how does it affect him considering that there’s a lot of movement along his block?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: Well, he’s clearly benefited from it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: And do you remember if you voted for it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WILKINS: I think I did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: His tax bill is, I don’t know exactly what it is, but it’s a lot less than somebody who lives next door and just bought the house and is paying taxes based on the market rate assessment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: Can people move their low property tax rates around right now? Or does it just stick to the house or property that you own?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: If you’re 55 years or older or severely disabled, you can buy a home of the same or less value and take that with you to another county… if that county has agreed to accept that lower value.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: So not all counties are in on this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: Not all counties. In fact, most counties are not, so just about 10 of the 58 counties in California have agreed to accept this lower tax rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: So what problem is Proposition 5 trying to solve?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: If you talk to realtors or if you talk to seniors…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CLIP: California realtors have an important chance to protect California’s homeowners and extend much needed property tax protection to seniors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: They have these big homes that they’re rattling around in, and they really would like to downsize. The problem is they’ve got this great deal on their property tax because they’ve been there so long and so they know if they move and buy a market value home, their tax rate is going to go way up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CLIP: It will remove an unfair move-in penalty or property tax spike that prevents many seniors from selling their single family home in order to downsize or move closer to their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHAFER: The argument here is that they will sell their big house, move to a smaller house and free up their bigger house for young families that want a three- or four-bedroom place. The problem of course is can a young family afford to buy that house?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AGUILAR: Who has introduced Proposition 5?

That amount will increase in years in which the most volatile state tax revenues, those that come from the capital gains of the most wealthy, are at their peak. The measure limits the instances in which elected officials at the state Capitol can tap the reserve funds, and it earmarks a sizable portion of the money in the immediate future for repayment of debts the state incurred during the fiscal crises of the past decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal was placed on the ballot by Brown and legislators as a substitution for a 2010 version of a reserve fund boost, and represents perhaps the most far-reaching effort by state lawmakers to smooth out the long-term impact of tax revenues that have fluctuated by billions of dollars in boom and bust economic times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Prop. 2 goes beyond the traditional budget reserve in both its provision for possible savings earmarked for public schools and a related 2014 law that would limit the size of some cash reserves held by local school districts. The latter law, quietly attached to Prop. 2 (but not part of the actual constitutional amendment), was criticized as a political giveaway to teachers unions that wanted the school districts in question to spend more money on salaries and benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others pointed out, not quite as loudly, that Prop. 2 is a weaker option than a broad-based adjustment to the tax system in California -- an adjustment that could, for example, include sales taxes on more services while lowering some personal income taxes. But tax reform on that scale has been discussed several times in Sacramento over the past decade and has been politically impossible to achieve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, urged by many to take on the issue should he be elected to another term as governor, has largely remained silent on the tax structure. Instead, he argued that Prop. 2 is a reasonable and prudent way to provide for backup cash during the state's most lean fiscal periods.

That amount will increase in years in which the most volatile state tax revenues, those that come from the capital gains of the most wealthy, are at their peak. The measure limits the instances in which elected officials at the state Capitol can tap the reserve funds, and it earmarks a sizable portion of the money in the immediate future for repayment of debts the state incurred during the fiscal crises of the past decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal was placed on the ballot by Brown and legislators as a substitution for a 2010 version of a reserve fund boost, and represents perhaps the most far-reaching effort by state lawmakers to smooth out the long-term impact of tax revenues that have fluctuated by billions of dollars in boom and bust economic times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Prop. 2 goes beyond the traditional budget reserve in both its provision for possible savings earmarked for public schools and a related 2014 law that would limit the size of some cash reserves held by local school districts. The latter law, quietly attached to Prop. 2 (but not part of the actual constitutional amendment), was criticized as a political giveaway to teachers unions that wanted the school districts in question to spend more money on salaries and benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others pointed out, not quite as loudly, that Prop. 2 is a weaker option than a broad-based adjustment to the tax system in California -- an adjustment that could, for example, include sales taxes on more services while lowering some personal income taxes. But tax reform on that scale has been discussed several times in Sacramento over the past decade and has been politically impossible to achieve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, urged by many to take on the issue should he be elected to another term as governor, has largely remained silent on the tax structure. Instead, he argued that Prop. 2 is a reasonable and prudent way to provide for backup cash during the state's most lean fiscal periods. And the ballot measure was one of a pair of propositions the governor used as a proxy re-election campaign in the final weeks of the election season.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/10346672/state-budget-activists-keep-close-eye-on-fate-of-prop-2","authors":["232"],"programs":["news_6944"],"series":["news_6304"],"categories":["news_8","news_13"],"tags":["news_17102"],"featImg":"news_49935","label":"news_6944"},"news_10345375":{"type":"posts","id":"news_10345375","meta":{"index":"posts_1716263798","site":"news","id":"10345375","score":null,"sort":[1414456560000]},"parent":0,"labelTerm":{"site":"news","term":7051},"blocks":[],"publishDate":1414456560,"format":"standard","disqusTitle":"Brown Launches Re-Election Bid.

His only television ads in this election season have been for the two propositions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL8lhH2qNUE?rel=0&w=640&h=360]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Save water, save money,\" says Brown in the ads. Yes, but the visuals of those ads -- and the message that really resonates -- is the one about the state's drought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if the ads connect with voters, the new statewide poll suggests there could be a different problem: Brown may not be the best person to reach some parts of the electorate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dig down deep into the survey and you’ll find what at best is skepticism from a number of voter subgroups. Conservative voters? Only 41 percent support Prop. 2. Voters who think the state is headed in the wrong direction? Only 42 percent support for the budget reserve measure. Latino voters? Only 44 percent are backing Prop. 2.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It may not be all the governor's fault, of course. And lest we forget to mention it, the new poll continues to show him poised to win an unprecedented fourth term on Nov. 4, besting GOP challenger Neel Kashkari in this latest poll by 16 percentage points. Still, those aren't all necessarily voters who are fans of Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take Republicans, for example. The new poll finds Prop. 2 support among GOP voters at 49 percent (and, as said earlier, self-described conservatives are even less enamored). But these should be the natural base for a proposal that automatically transfers more tax revenues to a reserve fund while also paying off billions in government debt over the next several years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're seeing Republican support lagging\" for the proposition, said PPIC's Baldassare. \"They are only hearing about Proposition 2 from the Democratic governor.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of a more visible bipartisan team hasn't gone unnoticed by the official Yes on Prop. 2 campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We would be benefiting if there were a more high-profile Republican spokesperson,\" said campaign manager Phillip Ung. \"We haven't been able to identify that person.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But again, it's not just Republicans. Even more striking are the Latino voter numbers. PPIC's new poll shows Brown's re-election bid supported by an overwhelming 73 percent of Latinos surveyed -- 29 points higher than their support for the state budget measure on which Brown is starring in TV ads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 2 is also struggling in the Bay Area, with only 44 percent support in the new poll. Pollster Baldassare suggests that some of the weakness among Democrats or liberals could be with those who believe the state needs to restore public services cut during the recession more than it needs to sock money away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of these numbers are a sign that the complex budget reserve proposition is a sure-fire loser, with a little less than two weeks to go before Election Day. But there are three reasons that Prop. 2 backers would be right to worry about the trend lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, the historic tendency of California voters who sit on the fence up until the last minute when it comes to a ballot measure is to ultimately vote against it (or leave it blank, which is really the same thing). As political consultants know, it's much harder to get a \"yes\" than a \"no.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, with more voters casting ballots by mail, and more of those ballots coming in every day, there's precious little time to change minds. The days of a last-minute campaign turnaround are dwindling in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And third -- perhaps most importantly -- Brown is unlikely to do much more PR to sway voters in the final days. His campaign in support of Prop. 2 has slowly started to include others, but it's still a pretty quiet effort. And even then, these are ads that are really geared toward the water bond. Check out the latest ad, featuring a woman called \"Farmer Jenny.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytVk8uxOdDA?rel=0&w=640&h=360]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The official Prop. 2 campaign, which is not affiliated with Brown's re-election, believes there is some momentum.

His only television ads in this election season have been for the two propositions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/PL8lhH2qNUE?rel=0'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/PL8lhH2qNUE?rel=0'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Save water, save money,\" says Brown in the ads. Yes, but the visuals of those ads -- and the message that really resonates -- is the one about the state's drought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if the ads connect with voters, the new statewide poll suggests there could be a different problem: Brown may not be the best person to reach some parts of the electorate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dig down deep into the survey and you’ll find what at best is skepticism from a number of voter subgroups. Conservative voters? Only 41 percent support Prop. 2. Voters who think the state is headed in the wrong direction? Only 42 percent support for the budget reserve measure. Latino voters? Only 44 percent are backing Prop. 2.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It may not be all the governor's fault, of course. And lest we forget to mention it, the new poll continues to show him poised to win an unprecedented fourth term on Nov. 4, besting GOP challenger Neel Kashkari in this latest poll by 16 percentage points. Still, those aren't all necessarily voters who are fans of Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take Republicans, for example. The new poll finds Prop. 2 support among GOP voters at 49 percent (and, as said earlier, self-described conservatives are even less enamored). But these should be the natural base for a proposal that automatically transfers more tax revenues to a reserve fund while also paying off billions in government debt over the next several years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're seeing Republican support lagging\" for the proposition, said PPIC's Baldassare. \"They are only hearing about Proposition 2 from the Democratic governor.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of a more visible bipartisan team hasn't gone unnoticed by the official Yes on Prop. 2 campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We would be benefiting if there were a more high-profile Republican spokesperson,\" said campaign manager Phillip Ung. \"We haven't been able to identify that person.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But again, it's not just Republicans. Even more striking are the Latino voter numbers. PPIC's new poll shows Brown's re-election bid supported by an overwhelming 73 percent of Latinos surveyed -- 29 points higher than their support for the state budget measure on which Brown is starring in TV ads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 2 is also struggling in the Bay Area, with only 44 percent support in the new poll. Pollster Baldassare suggests that some of the weakness among Democrats or liberals could be with those who believe the state needs to restore public services cut during the recession more than it needs to sock money away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of these numbers are a sign that the complex budget reserve proposition is a sure-fire loser, with a little less than two weeks to go before Election Day. But there are three reasons that Prop. 2 backers would be right to worry about the trend lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, the historic tendency of California voters who sit on the fence up until the last minute when it comes to a ballot measure is to ultimately vote against it (or leave it blank, which is really the same thing). As political consultants know, it's much harder to get a \"yes\" than a \"no.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, with more voters casting ballots by mail, and more of those ballots coming in every day, there's precious little time to change minds. The days of a last-minute campaign turnaround are dwindling in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And third -- perhaps most importantly -- Brown is unlikely to do much more PR to sway voters in the final days. His campaign in support of Prop. 2 has slowly started to include others, but it's still a pretty quiet effort. And even then, these are ads that are really geared toward the water bond. Check out the latest ad, featuring a woman called \"Farmer Jenny.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/ytVk8uxOdDA?rel=0'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/ytVk8uxOdDA?rel=0'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The official Prop. 2 campaign, which is not affiliated with Brown's re-election, believes there is some momentum.
