2020 Proposition 13 –YES
It is different from the 1978 Jarvis Proposition 13, which crippled California’s ability to fund vital needs. 2020 Proposition 13 provides needed funds for school facilities. 2020 Proposition 13 is endorsed by the California Democratic Party. It “authorizes Bonds for Facility Repair, Construction, and Modernization at Public Preschools, K-12 Schools, Community Colleges, and Universities. Legislative Statute.” And raises the ceilings for school and community college districts’ bonds. Authorizes $15 billion in state general obligation bonds to improve public education facilities, including earthquake/fire safety and removal of lead from water. Limits administrative costs to 5 percent.
Measure A –NO
“An Ordinance … Amending the [Orange] County Charter to Require a 2/3 Vote of the Board of Supervisors to Propose Taxes …” Currently a simple majority is required to present for election the imposition, extension, or increase of a tax. This measure raises the requirement to a vote by four of the five Supervisors, making it extremely difficult to raise revenues. It is an attempt by current Republican supervisors to tie the hands of Democrats if they should win the majority of seats on the Board of Supervisors.
