Schwarzenegger warned adviser Buffett not to question the wisdom of the state's low property taxes enshrined in California's Proposition 13. "I told Warren if he mentioned Proposition 13 once more time, he has to do 500 sit-ups," the candidate told a news conference. "He won't talk about that again. I guarantee it." news.corporate.findlaw.com “I expect many dynamic ideas and policy recommendations from my team. But with regards to my position on Proposition 13, my position is rock solid in support of that initiative.” schwarzenegger.com "No one in California messes with Proposition 13 and especially not a Republican," the source said. "They have to come out much harder than they have and declare that Arnold will stand by Proposition 13 and will never even listen to anyone who says otherwise." Schwarzenegger's campaign has tried to distance itself from Buffett's remarks. Campaign spokesman Rob Stutzman told Fox News that the candidate disagrees with Buffett's remarks on the issue and that the international film star considers Howard Jarvis, the author of Proposition 13, the "original tax cut terminator." Buffett will remain the campaign's top economic adviser, however. Stutzman said if elected governor, Schwarzenegger would be a "fierce protector" of Proposition 13. foxnews.com.edgesuite.net Schwarzenegger also released a statement saying he talked to Buffett about Proposition 13, "and he clearly understands my strong unequivocal support for the initiative." sun-sentinel.com Your theory is a bit simplistic. Prop 13 became part of the state constitution. It will take an amendment to repeal it. And that means back to the voters, those folks who strongly support it. It isn't going to go away just because you want it to go away. You might get me to vote against that recall and for Simon, though.
