48. Prop 13 helped us

Sat Oct 5, 2013, 11:41 AM

Oct 2013

My dad bought a bldg. here in '64 to open his pharmacy in. My parents have passed on, my brother and I still own the property. The taxes are manageable for us with our meager earnings. My brother is a plumber hoping to retire in five yrs., and I manage the property and take a small amount of rental income to live on. I have CFS and Fibro. and can't hold down a regular job. Prop 13 has been a benefit to many elderly friends of mine too.
