David Dodson Board of Equalization

I enjoyed meeting with friends and supporters at the Green Flash Brewery in San Diego for a meet and greet and discussion about issues of importance to the Board of Equalization. I will continue to have more gatherings to reach out to voters and provide information on my campaign and what I can bring to the Board of Equalization.

Many of the questions asked by guests were about the recent implementation of Proposition 19. Guests were concerned that the initiative would eliminate their ability to pass their family homes to their children because the children would not be able to afford the market based property taxes in the expensive California real estate climate. Others were concerned about how a split roll initiative could affect the economy. Challenges to Proposition 13 were also discussed as well as how to provide adequate revenues for schools and local communities.
