County to study Watson bill in Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara County prepares a detailed analysis of the Watson Tax Limitation Amendment Plan led by Board Chair Daniel G. Grant and County Counsel George P. Kading. The plan could cut property taxes but may cause county revenue losses, with opposition from special districts and support from taxpayer groups and farm groups.
