“We can nibble around the edges, or we can step back and be bold.”

The very challenge faced by every other armed robber in history. :)

There has been no significant change in property taxes in the state since the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978.

Yeah, but the Sales Tax mushroomed from 3% to almost 10% in the same amount of time. AND Sales Tax is obviously automatically indexed for inflation.

"Stablize" the economy by STOP THE SPENDING.

Double oxymoron. No politician thinks, and none is bold. They do what they do because they do not have the intellectual firepower to do anything else.

Bold thinking = new taxes and tax increases. Reducing Californians' tax burden won't be atop the commission's agenda.

We owe it to the people of California to try to be bold.

Okay. End welfare. Completely.

“Boldly” = “Greedily.”

Commercial property owners and tenants will be the next to act boldly. The tenants will leave for more business friendly states. The owners will default on the vacant properties as only a fool would purchase them. It's a brilliant strategy.

Here’s a bold idea: STOP SPENDING ON CRAP!

They have been after Prop 13 for decades. Before it passed, the libs were wailing like banshees that if it passed, all libraries would close & there would be no police or firefighters.

Everyone lived.

If they mess with Prop 13 now it will slaughter the seasoned citizens who bought homes in the 1960’s & 70’s, worked their tails off, didn’t get SUV HELOCs & paid off their mortgages in 30 yrs.

Even with the drop in property values in CA, they’d be paying taxes on today’s assessed values vs 1969 values which will be in the hundreds of thousands.

Would literally wipe out a huge number of people.

I would much prefer the legislature to “think boldly” and cut spending and taxes to the bone. We could then start rebuilding CA businesses, especially if we dumped about 3/4 of the green laws this piss poor state has enacted.

Bush and Rove destroyed the Republican party by putting that commie Parsky in charge of the state party.

He needs to be tared and feathered and tell him to get back in his jet and never discrace the party again!
