New enemies

By Kitty Calavita, Berkeley | 10/14/2015

Regarding “Brown’s dodge on Prop. 13” (Editorial, Oct. 12): Thank you for your support of commercial property tax reform, and for exposing Gov. Jerry Brown’s lack of courage. Polls show the majority of Californians now support a split roll plan to make Prop. 13 more fair to homeowners. So, when the governor says he doesn’t want to make too many enemies by supporting reform, he is either out of touch with this new political reality or, more likely, he is unwilling to admit exactly which enemies he is afraid of.
