The Guessing Game

Congratulations to your representatives (and mine) who received failing grades from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.

Assemblywoman Laura Friedman, Assemblyman Chris Holden and State Senator Anthony Portantino each earned an ‘F’ from the Orange-based organization that has fought for hard-won protections of Proposition 13 since 1978.

“Progressive” politicians pay lip service to their over-regulated and over-taxed constituents but continually vote for Assembly or Senate constitutional amendments in the vain hope of defeating Proposition 13.

To prove their point, HJTA invites you to play “The Guessing Game.” Visit the website www.guessinggame.org, enter the approximate market value of your home and click to find how much your property taxes would without Proposition 13.
