Question: Would You Back Otter Prop 13 Push?

Question: Otter considers property tax reform: Plan would lock in assessed values at the sale price of every home/Greg Hahn, Idaho Statesman

More Info: Otter described an idea similar to California's Proposition 13, saying he is considering a plan that would lock assessed values at the sale price of every home, and then restrict how quickly the assessments can grow each year after that. The system means longtime homeowners pay less taxes than their more recent neighbors, even if their homes have equal values.

Question: Would you want a property tax system in Idaho like California's Proposition 13?
