All, The Green Party of Alameda County recommends a "Yes" vote on Prop. 72. Below is our current draft Voter Guide article for Prop. 72. Greg Prop. 72 -- YES Rainwater Capture Systems Excluded from Property Tax Assessments This measure simply adds the words "rainwater capture systems" to a short list of other helpful property improvements (such as solar panels, wheelchair ramps, and fire sprinkler systems) which are already EXCLUDED from the "new construction" provision in property tax reassessments. According to the author of the measure, state senator Steve Glazer of Orinda (Contra Costa county), this proposal is modeled after similar 1980s legislation that added a property tax exclusion for solar systems The measure was unanimously endorsed by both houses of the state legislature and no one is on record in the official state of California voter information guide as opposing this measure, either. It's kind of odd that it's on the ballot at all, but that will raise consciousness about this simple Green-value home improvement.
