Although ‘one proposal to give all property owners a $50 blanket tax relief check has already been made, it now appears clear that any tax relief coming out of the current session will be in the form of reduced local taxes due to increased state aid. This will be relected on the local tax bill next year in lower taxes, but if you are waiting for your share in one lump payment, forget it, Secondly, in discussion of AB 272, it must be remembered that this is a school finance measure and, therefore, it appears clear that property tax relief resulting from it will show up in the local tax bill for schools. Finally, it is also fairly clear that no matter what plan is used to distribute this money to.create property tax relief, someone is not going to like it. Knowing all of these things, one can thenproceedto methods, — As stated earlier, one method already in the hopper would be to give all property owners a specified amount. Another widely discussed method would be to use all of the $155 million for support of . junior colleges, thus reducing the local tax bill. I have some Serious reservations about this plan because it would bring great benefits to some areas andlittle or none toothers, Alpine County, for example, has no junior college or junior college affiliation. The property owners in that county, under this proposal, would receive no property tax relief at all, _ I firmly believe that any property tax relief program should be worked out in a way so that every taxpayer will have aclear indication of its impact.
