520 _aThe passage of Proposition 13 in 1978 was a watershed eventg that ushered in both a new era and a new fiscal regime for California's local governments. The authors argue that in the wake of follow-on-initiatives, a protracted recessionary period, and the state's use of newly authorized revenue-transfer powers, this still-evolving regime entered a new phase in the 1990s. This article analyzes the primary impacts of and responses to the changes in California's Post-Proposition 13 fiscal regime in the 1990s in five local jurisdictions. The results reveal that the most significant long-term impacts of this regime have been an altered fiscal structure and an unintended decrease in local home rule. These impacts in turn, have led to cuts in nonesential services, the expansion of sales tax - generating redevelopment efforts, implementation of new taxes and user service fees, and increased reliance on one-time fiscal measures. - Reproduced.
