Opinion: Assembly Constitutional Amendment 1 is a direct attack on Proposition 13
Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association members and frequent readers of this column have undoubtedly heard about Assembly Constitutional Amendment 1. ACA 1 is a direct and perennial attack on Proposition 13 that would change the state Constitution to cut the percentage of votes needed to raise special taxes, dropping it from the current two-thirds required under Prop. 13 to only 55%.
Fortunately, while it is introduced every year, we always manage to beat it back. However, you never know when some deal may be struck that sees ACA 1 sail through. That is especially true in this new Legislature session. With so many new legislators, it is hard to guess what they are going to do. Bad bills pass all the time.ACA 1 passed its first committee last week.
That’s why it’s supported by a smorgasbord of government agencies and unions. In fact, the bill is being sponsored by the California Professional Firefighters association. By the way, these are the same folks that helped pass Prop. 19 to tax your kids out of your family home when they inherit it. Now they’re back for more. If you’re a firefighter, you should really question what your dues are going to.
