Assessor Opposes Property Tax With 1% Cap Plan
County Assessor Philip Watson told Long Beach Kiwanis the property tax is the most vicious levy and urged a constitutional amendment to cap it at 1 percent of market value. He said the move could cut taxes about 50 percent, shift funding to other taxes, and affect school and welfare funding. He projected Los Angeles County property taxes reaching 1.7 billion in 1969, with half to schools and about 100 million to welfare.
