Why was the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978 so significant?
What will be an ideal response?
Prop 13 helped people realize the power of the initiative process; an overwhelming number of voters supported the grassroots, citizen initiative that addressed a problem the legislature refused to solve. Further, it forever changed the rules regarding taxation and state budgeting practices, effectively altering the balance of power between states and local governments. Those rule changes also affected the long-term availability of tax revenue, which has an impact on state budgets to this day.
