    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    How does a mansion tax put apartment development in peril? Why would a state legislator tell you to vote against her own ballot measure? Why do we have such complex rules about local taxes anyway? This is the story of how the Upland decision transformed Prop 13, how LA's Measure ULA sparked a backlash, and how others tried to meet that backlash, with the consequence of another goldanged ballot measure we have to vote on in November.
