County of San Diego really turned the Fourth of July into this, here are the meeting minutes where it was decided. February 10, 2026. Supervisors Desmond and Anderson brought forward a 250th celebration for the whole region.

The three Democrats rewrote it, tied it to the county’s “equity, inclusion, and racial justice goals,” and handed planning to the Office of Equity and Racial Justice.

There have been repeated efforts by California Democrats (and aligned groups) to modify or weaken key parts of Proposition 13 (1978), though a full repeal has never succeeded and remains politically difficult.

Full repeal is unlikely due to voter resistance—past measures like Prop 15 failed, and Prop 13 is seen as a “third rail.” Changes have come via court interpretations, targeted bills, or local taxes. As of mid-2026, the core residential protections are holding, but pressure continues amid California’s fiscal and housing challenges.

Recent and Ongoing Efforts
California Democrats, who control the legislature and governorship, have pursued targeted changes rather than outright repeal:
• Split-roll reforms: Multiple attempts to treat commercial/industrial properties differently (e.g., reassessing them to market value more frequently, like every 3 years, while keeping residential protections). This was the core of Proposition 15 (2020), which failed at the ballot. Gov. Gavin Newsom endorsed it. Similar ideas have been floated since for education and local funding. https://www.credaglobal.org/advocacy/state-local-issues/prop-13

Republican legislators and groups like Howard Jarvis have highlighted Democratic attempts to “chip away” at Prop 13 protections

🚨Heads up California !! Regarding Prop 13 He did it! AG Becerra got the major property tax increase on the ballot.

Your property tax increases are on the launch pad. California politicians are trying to repeal prop 13 by slipping it under the radar. California's past Attorney General, Xavier Becerra is putting together plans to raise property tax revenue by eliminating the only thing keeping some people's property tax from sky rocketing,

Prop 13.

They know it will be unpopular if presented as

"Repeal Prop 13," Xavier Becerra has strategically relabeled it "Education and Local Government Funding." It's already on the 2026 ballot and like the gasoline tax, it will be worded in a way that misleads California voters.

Vote NO on Education and Local Government Funding!!!!!!

All my California friends and family, please COPY and REPOST as this must be defeated.
