prop 13 passed shifted the burdens to the homeowner they pay 72 percent even if property tax and commercial owners pay only 36 percent. so if californians are paying more and more because commercial property owners are not paying their burden proposition 13 has a competitive disadvantage two ideal businesses can pay different tax on how long they've been around. this california is the 49th in the nation and in 2008, and 2011 has the california assistance

francisco. >> mime a sf voter i voted today, i'm in favor of close the loophole resolution i'm a teacher at the mercy high school i was educated at the university of san francisco and care about education. i moved from north carolina and have been disheartened to see the state of the education. you're probably familiar with the statistic that the student counselor ratio in california is 41 to one thousand. i work at the private school because there i can serve my students. it's a tragedy in my mind we're not meeting the needs i'd be

forever grateful if we could changes things in california thank you very much >> next speaker >> hi i'm julia this is my colleagues and i'm going to give this over to eli both of them. are my children they were both burn born in san francisco i know you want to vote to close the loophole i count on that but i've never come and spoken i'm so motivated open this issue i hope you'll find other ways to be motivated i'm part of the 59 percent that support this this is a winable issue and i think it solves so many problems in san francisco it isn't about education not about making it possible for new businesses to open. it's also about equality, you

know, less thaning that and about people that can get the kinds of jobs to get the kind of schooling and keeping the income diversity in the schools so people that have more money are not fleeing and i'm a property owner and i'm willing to pay more it's not about the commercial stuff but i'm going to give to evolve others go organized from the benefit of not having my property taxes raised thank you very much >> thank you. next speaker. . >> hi i'm molly the teacher librarian at the balboa high school and speaking on behalf of the close the loophole.

one of the lucky school librarians at self-ousted i see we're suffering from prop 13 and the lack of funds in california there's one librarian to even 8 thousand students the worse in the nation. and at balboa we don't have the money for the programs the arts programs especially drama special ed programs that will help our students be meaning main streamed and co- taught i urge you to do everything you can too close this loophole and devote more money to education thank you very much >> thank you. next speaker. >> thank you. i'm marilyn the

elementary school student i lobbied against prop 13 i remember at this point my brother had an opportunity to go to state funded hiking trips and it was cut off and my sister and i never had the opportunity i'm a teacher in the public schools and even though there's a surplus in the budget schools are not being funded to the level eave lost very important crucial staff at our school and those students their needs won't be met and there will be a trickle up effect at the achievement records the teachers will be forced to teach the students that need specific care and aid. so our schools are becoming undemocratic there's is a strong pta that supports the pe, etc.

by month schools don't have this opportunity it's not the mission for our constitution of the united states to provide that and our schools are failing and california is failing proportion thirteen is responsible. i've met many supervisors in small locations urging the campaigns and you all speak strongly to support of the addition education of our students i hope by closing the loophole we'll achieve that thank you. >> hi i'm anton and i'm also a san francisco resident and voter and i'm also honored to be here with the educators i'm a high school science teacher right up

the street in balboa high school and the discretion between private and pun school is on one level what that is about. i think a question should be posed to every politician how much does it cost to educate a child per year and how we will achieve that level of funding. when i was in college a constitutional law case rodriguez vs. the unified school district and the fact that ethnic discrimination is tragic i think we should be taking every measure to battle that and closing corporate loophole is one very important step in that direction i'm hoping that san francisco, california take the leads for the whole state in

pursuing this thank you >> hello, i'm william what i've worked in the bay area the year that proposition 13 was pass. i felt that the commercial property tax was inequal and long overdue i encourage you to support that removal of that loophole. we all know that the particular revenue is needed so, please support it thank you. >> hello, i'm or join i'm a san francisco resident a homeowner and a public school teacher in san mateo and a parent of a san francisco unified school district district a productive

college and uc berkley i'm in favor of closing the loophole i believe education should be funded equally among all unified school districts i see the disparity of people returning from san francisco where the funding is less more per person in my district we can't afford to lose any more families or teachers to richer school districts and to private schools i believe that closing corporate funding will help to make sure that people stay in the city's and in the areas and not just for people that happen to come from families that have more money at this point you have to be married to are come from a

family that has money to live in the cities in california. please support f this at least one of you will be would going onto the california assembly i hope you'll support in monk your colleagues thank you very much >> thank you next speakers. >> we hear to speak on closings the commercial loophole. >> i'm max. i'm dan son >> and i'm is a bash we go to marshall elementary. >> the computers in marshall crash at the random we no longer have enough for the whole class and c i s the commiserates have

broken and we need more. please give money to education not only for broken computers but all other problems thank you (clapping) >> my name is erica i'm a san francisco voter and residents as well as a student at san francisco state i'm one of the many people here to support the closing of the loophole and proportion 13 i'm equally out remained about disneyland and among other corporations paying the 1975 rates they'll continue to pay that actually 20075 so,

please reform prop 13 thank you. >> good afternoon, everyone i'm matt i'm a commissioner on the unified school district board of education i'll honored to be here with the members of the schools and kids and educators to support this resolution in closing the loophole it's wonderful to be across the street and say hello to friends i'm not going to talk about and prop 13 has devastated schools we're 49 now in the country money isn't everything but you get a what you pay for we're dead last in the teachers and could you please state your name we're blessed to have passed prop thirty and seeing money coming but frankly not enough

the local formula is going to bring if additional funds but close to back where we were so if we want to meet the needs of the students we need to take on prop 13 and we as a school district eave passed a similar resolution a number of months ago and hoping the city will join us but we need to gal in his our treaties across the state to get people to understand people are demanding this. i hope to see the school district and the city to encourage the rest of california to pass that and a a number of years we'll see the reform of proposition 13 thank you to supervisor cowen for bringing this forward >> good afternoon. i'm a

resident of supervisor mar's district an organizer for evolve and speaking no support of item number 40. i think an important point is we have the highest sales and income taxes in the country we're going to see prop thirty funds riven out in 2016 we can choose to increase the tax burden on people further or have large cooperation's pay fair market rate on their properties i urge you to take a stand and adapt to close the commercial loophole. thank you >> hello, i'm eir i can't think a san francisco resident and here to speak in favor of the resolution to close the

commercial loophole tax. i graduate from san francisco state in 2012 after completing my entire education in public schools. as the son of two teachers i was lucky enough to have the support to complete my entire education despite the dramatic cuts that faced our education system. many my short time at the sf state i saw tuition raise about $3,000 a semester as an organizer i've had the opportunity to speak to tens of thousands of californians that understand how prop 13 has accommodated our education system by granting numerous corporations tax breaks there's something wrong when our

education system has slipped to 49 in funding and disneyland is paying $0.05 per square feet on their property taxed. california become the greater state by funding education expenses so san francisco needs to be a leader i iceberg you to support in resolution and take a stance for tax fairness thank you. >> hi good afternoon. i'm margaret and i'm a resident of san francisco for 4 years now. i hesitate to tell you my tail by i come from the mainline outside of philadelphia the merry run the pennsylvania and i

over the past several years of revision indicates that prop 13 is not working especially for the states education system that's not likely prop 13 will ever be stopped bs but the tax are not able to support the citizens. while you're not going to change the states constitution but consider the assembly bills by ending the commercial loophole. thank you >> good afternoon. i'm a former south san franciscan life-threatening in turlock. i'm here to speak because prop 13 impacted me i was in high school and had a job at the south san francisco high school
