Californians Say No to 88 -- 76%+ Voted No!
Proposition 88 was soundly defeated on Election Day -- 76%+ voted now on the parcel property tax increase.
The No on Prop 88 campaign earned the support of a diverse coalition to
defeat the proposition. The California Federation of Teachers and PTA said
No on
88 because it was bad for our schools and bad for our
kids.
The Federation of Labor AFL-CIO and the League of
Women Voters said No on Prop 88 because it was an unfair tax, hitting the owners
of the smallest condo with the same tax increase as
an entire oil refinery or
huge shopping center.
And business and taxpayer groups, led by the Howard
Jarvis Taxpayers Association and the Small
Business Action Committee opposed Prop 88 because it would have created a whole new kind of
statewide property tax that circumvented Prop 13's protection against increased
property taxes. There would be no limit to how many
of these taxes were imposed
on homeowners and small business owners, or how much
taxes would be
increased.
Again, thank you for your interest and participation
in Tuesday’s important election.
