LA Times comes out swinging against Prop 13 property tax relief I rarely read that rag anymore but I had some free time at the doctor's office yesterday. Most of the editorial page, including the letters column, was devoted to the proposition that property taxes are too low. The house communist, Rober Sheer, did a column; the letters section, the content of same controlled by the editors, had letters from people who were sobbing that they were undertaxed (honest). This paper has been waxing hysterical about Prop 13 since it passed in 1978 and they just continue. I'm sure the homeowners in CA are just dying to pay more taxes. I'm sure the renters in California are eager to pay higher rents, the sure result of higher landlord taxes too. Don't believe ANYTHING in the Los Angeles Times.
