Submitted by Howard Jarvis Taxpayer's Association, Jon Coupal President, HJTA – On Monday, July 2, the California Assembly’s Committee on Revenue and Taxation will consider whether to support a special resolution, ACR 247, in honor of the 40th anniversary of Proposition 13. We think every lawmaker should recognize the importance of keeping property taxes affordable and predictable in California so that people are not taxed out of their own homes. A resolution in honor of Proposition 13 is certainly something that the Legislature should support. If you’d like to call the members of the committee to urge them to vote “Yes!” to supporting ACR 247, the resolution commemorating Proposition 13’s 40th anniversary, here are their names and contact numbers: Autumn R. Burke (Chair) Democrat – District 62 (916) 319-2062 William P. Brough (Vice Chair) Republican – District 73 (916) 319-2073 Kansen Chu Democrat – District 25 (916) 319-2025 Adam C. Gray Democrat – District 21 (916) 319-2021 Melissa A. Melendez Republican – District 67 (916) 319-2067 Kevin Mullin Democrat – District 22 (916) 319-2022 Bill Quirk Democrat – District 20 (916) 319-2020 Luz M. Rivas Democrat – District 39 (916) 319-2039 Philip Y. Ting Democrat – District 19 (916) 319-2019 Randy Voepel Republican – District 71 (916) 319-2071 We hope the resolution will be passed in the committee and will get to the floor of the Assembly.
