HJTA is a statewide organization founded by Proposition 13 coauthor, Howard Jarvis. Its mission is the protection of Proposition 13 and the advancements of taxpayers’ rights. The Association takes an active role in state tax policy, and was instrumental in the defeat of several Propositions seeking tax increases including Propositions 1A thru E. HJTA organized the recent Taxpayer Summit in Sacramento at which most California taxpayer and tea party groups shared information about solving the state financial crises.
There will be a fund raising raffle and prize donations are most welcome.
