Today's Prop 13 article in the SF Chron is not to be missed. It's easy to forget the history of this proposition or to underestimate its signifcance. When you read the aritcle, you'll realize or remember that Prop 13 changed not only the way we pay property tax, but also the way Californian's view taxes and government in general. Moreover, ask any veteran educator in the state and they'll tell you that no single event in California history has had more impact on public (and by extension, private) education than the passage or Prop 13.
