I know someone who was in CA public school system when Prop 13 passed. He recalls how many programs were simply slashed the year after Prop 13 was passed.
--Also I think it's time Supreme Court revisits these limits on laws that require more than 51% to pass/revoke a law. Doesn't seem democratic to me--
Edit: Sorry I wasn't clear earlier.
This provision in Prop 13 seems undemocratic:
'two-thirds (2/3) majority in both legislative houses for future increases of any state tax rates or amounts of revenue collected, including income tax rates and sales tax rates'
It effectively removes the ability for the tax law to be changed...
- GunboatDiplomat 11y agoSeems to me that since the Constitution itself requires more than 50% +1 for certain issues, it would be difficult for SCOTUS to rule that it's unconscionable to do so.
