My initial reading of it is that it is fairly broad," said Santa Clara County Counsel Ann Ravel. "It will be problematic for cities and counties to impose any kind of assessments that do other than provide a benefit to individual homeowners."
My gosh, what in the world is going on here?
Taxes/fees should only be used to benefit those who pay them.
Not sure the elected in Cali. will understand and abide by this novel approach.
That's exactly the intent of Prop. 218 - it was meant to ensure assessments must benefit homeowners, must fund a homeowner related service, must not exceed the cost of providing the service to homeowners, cannot be a general tax and must receive voter approval before it can be imposed and collected. Simple and straight.
