Brown ties property tax relief to spending cap
Gov. Brown linked property-tax relief to a cap on local government spending at a news conference but refused to spell out a detailed plan. He said any proposal would include spending limits, while noting he was not ready to commit to a specific program or call a special session. Brown warned of hard cuts in health care, education, police and fire services, or roads, if taxes are restrained by spending limits. He declined broader tax hikes to fund relief and acknowledged lawmakers had previously failed to pass a cap measure amid local government lobbying. He later met Valley homeowners demanding a special session and sent 200,000 letters urging action.
