Didn't take long for Prop 13 to be back on the chopping block. What are the chances of overturning Prop 13?

Strange, the state had a multi-billion dollar surplus the day Gray Davis took office on his first term with Prop 13 untouched.

The true item on the Davis agenda, build a crisis, so Prop 13 can be changed!

They need a 3/4th vote to change Prop. 13, I believe. At the MINIMUM they need a 2/3rd vote, but I believe it's 3/4th (if someone knows for sure, let me know!)

If they tinker with prop. 13 in the so-called effort to be "fair" between commercial and residential properties, BEWARE ... they won't let residential property owners off. There will be a hidden clause or something that will screw us. There always is.

I just don't think they can get 6 Republican Assemblymembers and 2 Republican Senators to vote to mess with Prop. 13. Because of redistricting, Republican districts have become more conservative, and anyone who messed with it would be in big trouble in a primary.
