The coronavirus pandemic and the state of the economy would seem to doom any November ballot proposition that seeks to raise taxes — or squeeze money out of anybody.
Even before the coronavirus infected the economy and flattened many voters’ wallets, Californians were in a sour mood. In the March 3 primary, 61% of all local bond and tax measures failed.
So, looking ahead to November, it’s possible that an ambitious, labor-backed proposal to alter sacrosanct, property-tax-cutting Proposition 13 by raising levies on business property isn’t as doomed as it might seem based on the local election results. But Mark Baldassare, president and pollster of the Public Policy Institute of California, didn’t buy the confusion argument.
But there were 240 measures on the primary election ballot to raise money for public schools and local governments, and 146 failed; 94 passed.
