"Prop 13 was enacted in 1978.. Three years after Reagan left office.. Jerry Brown was Governor from 1975 - 1983 when Prop. 13 was passed," He campaigned against it, cuz he knew the damage it would cause. I don't suspect he thought it would be considered to be the first shot of the Raygun Revolution, tho. I recall voting against both Raygun twice (first vote), and Prop 13, which was from the proto-teabaggers Jarvis and Gann. I also recall voting for the Browns (first vote was for Pat). Teabaggers didn't like Jerry starting a rainy day fund for emergencies, cuz that meant we had too much tax money. "Facts are stranger than truth." They are. "It is amazing what a little bit of education could do for you?" That, and a good memory and voting record. BTW, I'm one of the people Raygun ran against his first campaign.
