That there has been no significant tax reform in- the State <br /> of California for the past 35 years. <br /> ' 4) That the State of California, through its legislature', has`' <br /> sought to abrogate its obligation in connection with payment -for the <br /> education of children of this State by forcing local school districts to <br /> resort to the property tax, which inequitably forces one group •f citizens <br /> to bear a larger burden of the cost of educating our children than any <br /> other group and which, in and of itself, has created greater inequities <br /> between local school districts. <br /> 5) That it is the duty of the State Legislature to see that <br /> meaningful tax'proposals are adopted whereby those citizens who own their <br /> homes in the State of California are not discriminated against in the <br /> field of property taxation. • ' <br /> -1- <br /> • <br />
