Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is an educational, lobbying and policy organization representing the interests of real property owners. It was known for being a major advocate for California Proposition 13,〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2012-08-09 )〕 which was approved by voters in 1978. Prop 13 limited property tax increases for California homeowners and businesses. Opponents claim this had major repercussions on California state and local tax policies, land development, housing prices and public education so are constantly trying to overcome its restrictions..〔Proposition 13〕 It was founded by California Republican Howard Jarvis, who died in 1986. The organization remains active and is headed by Jon Coupal.〔(HJTA )〕 HJTA opposes all new and old taxes on Californian persons and businesses. Its motto, "Dedicated to protecting Proposition 13 and promoting taxpayers' rights", expresses its primary mission of defending Proposition 13. It mobilizes its members to support or oppose legislation. It endorses candidates in California elections and is an important source of funds for elections of candidates, laws and propositions in California. Some examples of its activities: In 1996, HJTA authored Proposition 218, “The Right To Vote On Taxes Act,” which specified that rate rollback initiatives can be qualified with a small number of signatures.〔Other cities could follow Sac utility measure, Feb. 15, 2010, by Katy Grimes (CalWatchDog.com )〕 In 2010, it spent at least $100,000 in support of Proposition 23, which was aimed at suspending AB 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. It was the plaintiff in a lawsuit to change the ballot wording of Proposition 23. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
