In this episode of the Howard Jarvis Radio Show, Susan Shelley is joined by Scott Kaufman, the legislative director of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. They discuss the importance of protecting Proposition 13, a 1978 initiative that limits property tax increases to 2% per year. Scott explains how the courts have carved loopholes in taxpayer protections, allowing special interest groups to raise taxes with a simple majority vote. They also talk about the Save Prop 13 initiative, which aims to close these loopholes and ensure that new taxes require a two-thirds vote.
