1998 General Election
| Initiative No. 413 |
| A constitutional amendment
to limit government spending by limiting tax revenue increases
by state and local governments. Tax revenue increases would be
limited to the rate of inflation, population growth, costs of
temporary emergencies, and new unfunded federal mandates. Voters
may elect to exceed the limit. Property tax rates or sales and
income tax rates would be reduced if projected local or state
tax revenues exceed the increase permitted. Taxes above the limit
would be returned through reduced tax rates. After five years,
the Legislature, by three-fourths vote, and with the Governor's
approval, may suspend the limit. |
