Ballot Propositions
✅ 15: Yes! "Schools & Communities First" Increases Funding for Public Schools, Community Colleges, and Local Government Services by Changing Tax Assessment of Commercial and Industrial Property; this reopens a revenue stream that our schools have been deprived of for decades. This prop is focused on large commercial and industrial property.
✅ 19: Yes! Property Tax Transfers, Exemptions, and Revenue for Wildfire Agencies and Counties Amendment; this increases mobility within the state and allows for reasonable revenue collection.
✅ 21: Yes! It will help provide more housing stability to Californians by giving cities more options to limit rent increases. Prop 21 sets sensible guardrails for rent stabilization by exempting small landlords with only one or two properties as well as new construction less than 15 years old. Ensuring housing stability is critical for homeless prevention and community wellness.
