Proposal A a ‘failure’

To the editor:

Yes, our property tax values are rising. I question why so many are quick to blame the current administration for this ...“stubbornly high inflation.” Some could just as easily blame the administration of Governor John Engler and his political party because Proposition ‘A’ was their big idea in the first place. It’s looking like another failure right about now.

Inflation is typically measured by the Consumer Price Index, which tracks the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services. If using coupons this can usually evenout over the long term.
