Do you want to see Proposition 13 reformed?

On the next Your Call, it's our Agenda for a New Economy series: Do you want to see Proposition 13 reformed? How? Proposition 13 was passed over thirty years ago to cap real estate taxes at around one percent. This year, San Francisco lawmakers have introduced a bill to close tax loopholes written into Prop 13 for corporations. Legislators say they're denying the state billions in revenue. Has the state budget crisis finally prompted reform of Prop 13? Join the conversation live at 11 a.m. or send your questions and comments to feedback@yourcallradio.org Do you want to change Prop 13? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar, and you.

Guests:
Phil Ting, San Francisco Assessor-Recorder who will be hosting a town-hall meeting in Oakland tomorrow to discuss reforming Prop 13.

Thomas Elias, California syndicated political columnist
