Nader targets California property taxes as shell game
In Los Angeles the Nader task force calls California property taxes a political shell game that unfairly burdens the poor while funding 44 percent of state and local revenues. The report proposes abolishing property taxes or shifting to land value only, with revenues redistributed by state to localities under a land-use plan. It criticizes lawmakers and land interests and names major contributors and lobbyists while noting some lawmakers deny links to land developers.
