POLITICAL PUNDITS SAY SOUTH

CAROLINA IS A MUST WIN FOR THE

FORMER VICE PRESIDENT.

VOTERS AT THE BALLOT BOX ON

TUESDAY MANY OF THEM FEELING A

LITTLE DÉJÀ VU.

ONE MEASURE IS PROP 13 BUT NOT

THE ONE YOU VOTED ON MORE THAN

TWO YEARS AGO.

POLITICAL REPORTER RANDY PAIGE

EXPLAINS WHAT'S AT STAKE UNDER

PROP 13 THE 2020 VERSION.

A REPORT TO REMEMBER THE GOOD

OLD DAYS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA?

THE AVERAGE COST OF A NEW

HOME IS $100,000.

HER.

WHEN THE GOING PRICE FOR HOME

FELT IMPOSSIBLE?

THIS IS IRVINE IN 1978 THE SAME

YEAR PROPOSITION 13 PASSED.

A LANDMARK PIECE OF LEGISLATION

THAT CAPPED HOW MUCH HER

PROPERTY TAX CAN INCREASE EVERY

YEAR OR PROPOSITION 13 IS

SYNONYMOUS WITH LOW PROPERTY

TAXES AND WHEN TO GO TO THE

BALLOT BOX ON TUESDAY GILSEY

PROPOSITION 13 IS BACK

WELL, NOT REALLY.

SO THAT THERE IS ZERO CONNECTION

BETWEEN THE

BALLOT MEASURE.

THIS PROPOSITION 13 ISN'T ABOUT

TAXES COMMENTS ABOUT SCHOOLS.

IT'S A SCHOOL BOND ELECTION AND

HERE'S HOW IT WOULD WORK.

THE STATE WOULD RO $15 BILLION

AND PUT IT IN ONE BIG ACCOUNT

AND THEN THE STATE WOULD SAY IF

YOU WANT TO -- YOUR SCHOOLS WILL

HELP YOU DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR SO IF

EVERY DOLLAR YOU PUT UP WE WILL

MATCH IT.

IF THE DISTRICT HAS A NUMBER OF

LOW-INCOME STUDENTS THE STATE

SAYS WE WILL GO EVEN A LITTLE

BIT MORE.

SEEM THAT THE SCHOOL HAS PIPES

WITH LEAD IN THEM.

THEY HAVE A SPOUSES.

BURR SHAREEN WALTERS DIRECTOR OF

LEGISLATION FOR THE CALIFORNIA

PTA.

OUR SCHOOL CHILDREN NEED TO

BE IN ENVIRONMENTS WHERE THEY

ARE SAFE WHERE THERE SEISMIC

RETROFIT OF HER.

INFECT PROPOSITION 13 WOULD

PRIORITIZE PROJECTS THAT GET THE

LEAD OUT OF DRINKING WATER AND

RICHER FIT THE SCHOOLS FOR

EARTHQUAKES.

WE HAVE EARTHQUAKES.

WHY HAVE THEY FIXED THESE

HIGH-PRIORITY PROJECTS AND THE

ANSWER IS THIS IS A GIANT SLUSH

FUND.

BURR SUSAN SHELLY IS WITH THE

HARVARD JARVIS TAX ASSOCIATION.

HOW DO THESE THINGS GET FIXED?

HOW DO WE GET THE SCHOOLS IN THE

SHAPE THAT IS SAFE FOR KIDS?

IT IT'S A MATTER OF TAKING MONEY

FROM HER REGULAR BUDGET AND

PRIORITIZING IT.

WHY ARE WE FUNDING THE BULLET

TRAIN AND WHY ARE WE FUNDING A

BUDGET THAT'S NOT A HIGH

PRIORITY FOR SAFETY IN SCHOOLS.

TODAY THERE AREN'T MONEY THAT

WILL COME FORWARD FOR SCHOOL

FACILITIES.

THE HOWARD JARVIS PEOPLE ARE

ARGUING THAT WE DO NEED TO BE

MODERNIZED SO THIS IS WHERE THE

MONEY WILL COME FROM.

THE QUESTION POSED BY THE

PROPOSITION 13 MAY NOT BE

WHETHER OR NOT THE SCHOOLS NEED

TO BE MODERNIZED BUT RATHER

WHERE SHOULD THE MONEY COME

FROM?
