Yesterday, on the 30th anniversary of the passage of Proposition 13, which limited property taxes and increases, in particular for those who have owned their property for a long time, the California Field Poll has released findings of a recent survey. We analyzed those numbers as to Proposition 13 in an article on these pages as showing broad support for Prop 13, but an opening for a split roll tax treating commercial property differently from residential property. All of Field’s findings are summarized in a four page document prepared for a conference held yesterday on Prop 13 at the Institute for Governmental Studies at the University of California, Berkeley.

You can read this Field report which has a number of charts, diagrams, and data. I’ve also dived into the 62 pages of crosstabs,
which have a lot more of the data and have been published by the Sacramento Bee in their Capitol Alert.
