Yup,. Pretty much all Prop 13. Not only cut the property tax, but made it virtually impossible to raise taxes, and, as it turns out, pass a budget, cuz they require 2/3 vote. Explains why we operated without a budget for 9 months; R's saying no to everything, and, finally, when one or 2 remembered they were Californians and not R's, went along with it, they were practically run out of the party...

What's frustrating to me is the fact the wingers responsible are long gone......and their survivors deny there is a connection with CA's current mess and prop 13. CA is one of the most important states in the Union and its flagging badly.
