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.

About Charles I. Guarria

As a freelance writer, I cover human-interest stories, interview politicians, folk in art & entertainment, dignitaries, business owners, attend store openings, primarily in the towns of Daytona Beach, Deltona, and Port Orange, Florida, though I will go anywhere for the story. I am rewriting my second book, a novel about a musician.

As a former librarian, I wrote Proposition 13: America’s Second Great Tax Revolt, a book that details library economics. I have published in scholarly journals and am a three-time winner of Emerald Group Publishing’s Highly Commended Award.

Live-streaming show, The Opinion Guy, coming soon.

I am available for hire to write, research, or beta-read.
