(Read OP before voting)


This electoral issue involves the Elementary/Middle School (it's Primary school for you non-Muricans) district I went to. Its proposal is that a small, flat $50 tax is payed each year by the people living in the areas which feed into those schools. And this tax goes towards funding the school since they aren't getting enough money from the state. Like, these schools were really starved of money when I went to them. So since it sounds sensible (and since I'm a dirty Communist), I'm going to vote yes on it. Yet literally everyone else in my immediate family is strongly against it, and they are going to vote no.

What do you nigger faggots think about this? It's a really local issue, so none of you would have ever heard of it if I never brought it up.

Does the proposal include any potential measures for future increases, and if so, who is in charge of the rate?

It says nothing about any potential for future increases.  And this tax lasts for 8 years where it will then be put to another vote over whether it will continue or stop.

And most likely, the California Government will be in charge of the 50 dollar rate.

Well...
A $50 property residency tax for a local, underfunded school district doesn't sound horrible like our property tax school funding scheme is...  I don't see a reason to be adamantly against it, but has the school tried more voluntary methods of fundraising?

They've tried to countless times. And they either failed, or they weren't very big in scale. So they haven't been able to raise enough money via donations.

The correct answer is to repeal Prop 13.

Property tax should be abolished.
