True, but most people do not really remember that part. They remember the part where it places huge restrictions on property taxes and effectively moved public school and local infrastructure out of the control of the locality in which it was based and up to the state level (because the local government no longer had a way to fund it) along with all of the inefficiency, graft, and waste that such a move creates.
- jacobolus 16y agoWithout knowing what “it” you are referring to it is quite difficult to parse your sentence or figure out what you’re trying to say. Prop 13 did not by itself “effectively move public school and local infrastructure [...] to the state level” (beyond which, what local governments actually did was figure out ways to take shitty loans which are now bankrupting them.... not cede control to the state government).
