California law gives children who inherit their parents’ homes a tax break that keeps their property taxes low — even if the heirs don’t live there. Under a new plan from a Bay Area lawmaker, that benefit would come to an end.
I went to another one of Jerry Hill’s “Java with Jerry” town halls this morning (February 3, 2018).
- He repeated his support for “due process” for all California residents and talked a bit about being proud of SB 54, and about how various rights are for everyone under the Bill of Rights etc., not just citizens. Someone asked if he could intervene with Sheriff Bolanos who is allowing ICE into prisons to pick up people who have just finished serving sentences. Hill said he will call the sheriff. He seemed to be choosing his language carefully but it sounded like he would at least press for the terms of the new law to be followed.
- He said he’s in favor of nuclear power (yikes) but didn’t think the shutdown of the Diablo Canyon plant could be stopped (whew).
- He talked a little about a proposal to offset the removal of the state income tax deduction at the federal level by allowing people to get state tax credits for deductible donations to state agencies. I’m not sure what to think of that yet.
- Because ICE had already been asked about, I used my question to ask about efforts to protect net neutrality at the state level. He mentioned the two bills in progress but said that the FCC also limits what states can do, so it seems unclear if those bills can accomplish anything.
- He said he wouldn’t bring a new bill to require gun store safety measures after the governor vetoed his last one, but encouraged people to work to pass such laws at the local level (as Brown claimed he preferred), saying that things can spread outward from there.
- Some people urged him to oppose SB 827 about bypassing local housing zoning rules. He said he hadn’t read it yet.
- aaand he made the same old joke about switching to “Joints with Jerry”.
