Immediate Action Needed! Call the Capitol to protect Proposition 13!

• The most imperative message is that a vote for ACA 1 is a vote for a tax increase because it makes it easier for local governments to propose and authorize higher taxes.
• Lowering the two-thirds vote for bonds and parcel taxes makes it easier to approve debt that is included “below the line” on property tax bills and is not included in Prop 13’s one percent cap. This can add hundreds of dollars a year to residential and commercial property tax bills, and last for decades.
• Parcel taxes are very regressive in that all property owners pay the same amount, regardless of the size of the home or business. For ACA 1 to be defeated, eight Assembly Democrats must oppose or abstain. While the odds seem daunting, we do believe there is a path to victory. Call the following Members of the Legislature who have yet to clarify their position on the bill,especially if you live in the areas they represent.
