  • Exclusionary Taxation
    \\jciprod01\productn\H\HLC\53-2\HLC201.txt unknown Seq: 1 19-OCT-18 12:58 Exclusionary Taxation Shayak Sarkar & Josh Rosenthal* Property tax assessments appear to be technocratic calculations. But they may be calculated to discriminate, even unintentionally. California’s constitu- tional limitations on property taxes, as first enacted by Proposition 13 in 1978, remain the poster child for the so-called “property tax revolt” of the late twenti- eth century. Such laws privilege preexisting homeowners by capping assess- ments at historic levels far below contemporary value. As property prices rise, beneficiary homeowners may even bequeath this taxpayer windfall to their de- scendants and immortalize these underassessments. Newer, increasingly diverse residents end up paying higher taxes because the law treats them with less re- gard than their more pedigreed neighbors. These tax policies are rationalized as providing “stability” to the existing residents. The aggrieved have found cold comfort in the Constitution, with the Supreme Court upholding the core of Cali- fornia’s system in the canonical Nordlinger v. Hahn. In this Article, we argue that even if such exclusionary tax policies do not violate the Constitution, they likely violate another facet of federal law: the Fair Housing Act’s disparate impact liability. Our contributions are threefold. First, as a procedural matter, we identify recent caselaw that offers a means for such legal challenges to enter the courthouse door. Although state and federal courts in the twentieth century erected barriers to judicial review of property tax poli- cies, we argue that the landscape has changed. Second, using California as a case study, we illuminate the contours of a Fair Housing Act challenge to discriminatory, acquisition-value assessments.

  • Tax Reform in Oregon the Time Has Come for Major Tax Reform in Oregon
    Tax Reform in Oregon The time has come for major tax reform in Oregon. Oregon’s revenue system is inadequate to meet the needs of the state and places an unfair burden on individual taxpayers, especially low- income families. The Oregon Campaign for Economic Justice is working with allies around the state to transform the debate around taxes and spending in order to build a movement for genuine tax reform. What’s wrong with Oregon’s tax system? The debate about how to balance the state budget has THE REAL been clouded by several myths: PROBLEMS Myth #1 The tax burden on Oregon residents is excessively high WITH OREGON’S In fact, only five other states pay a smaller share of their income to state and local taxes than Oregon. And Oregon’s overall tax burden has TAX SYSTEM remained steady relative to income over most of the last 20 years. UNFAIR Myth #2 Government spending in Oregon is excessively high Oregon’s tax burden falls disproportionately In fact, the amount of state tax revenue that Oregon’s government on low-income taxpay- spends for public services is close to the national average. After account- ers and on households ing for federal aid received, Oregon’s state government ranks 24th out versus corporations. of all states for general expenditures.

As detailed in the program, participants dressed in blackface and performed skits for audiences in Portland, Oregon. Programs in the OHS Research Library collection indicate the church performed minstrel shows from the 1940s until at least 1950. During that time, the church moved the show from a single performance at Grant High School to two performances at Civic Auditorium. ON THE COVER: On May 26, 2017, White supremacist Jeremy Christian verbally attacked two young women, one wearing a hijab, on a light-rail train in Portland, Oregon. Three men intervened, and Christian killed Ricky Best and Taliesin Namkai-Meche, while severely injuring Micah Fletcher. In the days following the attack, a powerful, tangible response from the community developed at the Hollywood MAX station — a memorial to the victims that included chalk messages, photographs, candles, and flowers. Jackie Labrecque, then a reporter for KATU News, took this photograph at dawn after someone wrote, in pink chalk, Taliesin Namkai-Meche’s final words: “Please tell everyone on this train I love them.” The memorial, a response to tragedy, also provided hope through a resounding denouncement of hate.
