About this episode

On this episode of the Howard Jarvis Radio Show, Susan and Jon discuss the importance of preserving Proposition 13. They delve into the history of the initiative, which limited property tax rates to 1% and protected homeowners from excessive tax increases. Jon explains how the courts have eroded some of these protections, and the need for the Local Taxpayer Protection Act to close loopholes and make it harder to raise taxes. They also discuss the impact of the wealth tax and the billionaire's tax on California residents and businesses. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
