Proposition 13 - America's Second Great Tax Revolt
My First Book
In 1978, the citizens of California took the historic step of voting for Proposition 13, thus reducing property taxes by 57%. Already known as a trend setting state, California's tax revolt was no different, as similar tax revisions quickly spread across the United States of America. In California, state and local governments struggled to find a way to manage the loss in revenue. On many occasions budget cuts were the solution. Library budgets were frequently the target of those cuts.

Picked up the pace reading the book manuscript about a rock star. I am reading it aloud as I plan on being the one to do the audiobook. Meaning it is really a re-write and practice of getting the timing down for the audiobook. Sign up for exclusives and first-to-know stuff. As always, thanks for reading me!

Reviews
Proposition 13 – America’s Second Great Tax Revolt: A Forty Year Struggle for Library Survival… Guarria does a great job connecting these details to the real impact on libraries in California, as well as connecting the case of California with the rest of the nation…this book should be included in collections on the resilience of libraries and in any academic collection focusing on information and library science… Guarria's conclusion still rings true…
