Passed in 1978, Proposition 13 has had a dramatic impact on virtually all aspects of public finance in the state of California. But surprisingly few Californians know about the factors that led to its passage, how it works and how it has reshaped public services throughout the state. Join Fred Silva, former chief consultant to the Senate Local Government Committee and senior fiscal policy advisor to California Forward, to kick off our three-part series on Proposition 13.
