Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act

For too long, politicians have been carving loopholes in Proposition 13 and making it easier to raise taxes. It’s time to close the loopholes.

If Protections from Proposition 13 are lost, many will not be able to afford the homes that they have owned for generations.

“Proposition 13 requires a two-thirds vote for special taxes to make it harder for special interests to game the system. However, state courts have recently invented a loophole. They say special taxes proposed by a “citizens’ initiative” can pass with 50% plus one yote instead of 2/3. This loophole enables special interest groups to pretend to be average citizens circulating an initiative, when really they’re interested parties who will get all the money from the tax increase.”1

The Calaveras Fire Protection Initiative is a “citizens initiative.”
