DISCUSSION 1
Discuss the major elements of Prop. 13 and their effects. What possible reforms might you propose – why?
The Prop 13, which contemplates a 1% property tax top, is good for California. Despite the way that it doesn't consider advancement in revenue for the State, it can be an all the all the more engaging offering point for families, investors and business visionaries to need to come to California to buy arrive. Comment by Gooch, Herbert: Assessed value at purchase, and cap 2% any one year subsequent rise
Before Proposition 13, the property tax had been a local tax constrained by local governments for local associations. Proposition 13; changed this by doling out to the express the dedication of distributing property tax revenues. Proposition 13 required that general property tax rates be chopped down yet did not choose how that ought to be finished. Since Proposition 13.
Prop 13 is good for California, in light of the route that for once California is genuinely making a move to lessen taxes. With Prop 13, individuals can have altogether more assurance that their property taxes will be settled sensibly, and that their taxes will be obvious with tax rates in whatever is left of the state.
Proposition 13 was a landmark decision by California's voters in June 1978 to purpose of restriction property taxes.
Proposition 13 Shifted Significant Authorities to the State. Before Proposition 13, the property tax had been an adjacent tax obliged by neighborhood governments for close to affiliations. Proposition 13; nevertheless, changed this by doling out to the express the commitment of appropriating property tax salary. Proposition 13 required that general property tax rates be hacked down however did not show how that should be done. Since Proposition 13 guided the state to distribute the property tax, the state foreseen that would pick how to hack down each range government's rate to such a degree, to the point that no property's general tax rate beat 1 percent. With an expansive number of neighboring governments requiring property taxes going before Proposition 13, the state relied on upon the present property tax transports to execute the 1 percent rate set by Proposition 13. Comment by Gooch, Herbert: Since property taxes had been the main revenue source for local governments (cities and schools), radical reduction through Prop. 13 meant local gov’ts had little money. Cities could exact fees, borrow, and set up other sources of funding, but schools had to rely on the state gov’t and when Sacramento began to run short of funds, it cut revenues to schools – even today ½ of the state budget goes to education – meanwhile the state had to raise sales and state income taxes (so CA has the highest rates in the nation, but some of the lowest property taxes
By confining mulled over regard change, Proposition 13 made the taxable estimation of property all the more indefatigable. Pay rates for close-by governments, nonetheless, were reason.

Municipalities across Eastern Ontario must develop a strategy to address the pressing business challenges they face. An aging workforce, a population shift from mid-sized cities and small towns to urban centers and the disruption of the digital economy will force local governments to make important choices. Will we embrace the new entrepreneurial solutions, create novel services while explore partnerships or simply maintain the status quo? Can we along the St. Lawrence Corridor keep pace with the new economy? These choices will define how we view the role of local government and will determine our shared prosperity.

Cellphone Tower Regulation: Maximizing Revenue While Protecting Local InterestsBest Best and Krieger LLP
Joseph Van Eaton and Gerry Lederer, partners in the BB&K Washington, D.C. office, recently conducted an educational program on regulatory and transactional concerns arising from the siting or collocation of a wireless tower. The presentation focused on the impact of new FCC rules limiting local authority to control modifications of existing wireless facilities on siting regulation and on negotiations for use of public property to place wireless facilities.
Overview of what an IP transition is: the replacement of traditional public switched telephone network with a network based around the IP protocol — a packet-switched v. a circuit switched network. The purpose of the switch is to bring potentially more efficiency and purpose to the network via wireless or wireline — or a combination of both — networks.
The big events relating to local permitting of wireless telecommunications facilities and how they fit together: Case law; the FCC "shot clock" ruling and Supreme Court case; Section 6409(a) of the Middle Class Tax Relief Act and follow-on court decisions
The most common stumbling points and effective ways to get past them; DAS system leasing for in-building networks as a growth area; advice on problematic situations of concern to members of the audience
Topics discussed:
- New Legislation - Private Employers
- New Legislation - Public Employers
- Wage and Hour Law
- Disability, Discrimination and Medical Leaves
- Discrimination, Harassment and Retaliation

Public Private Partnerships: From Economic Development to Local-Serving Infr...Best Best and Krieger LLP
Local jurisdictions are considering (and developer are encouraging) various forms of public-private partnerships to attract and sustain economic development. In California there is growth in the use of P3’s for local serving infrastructure procurement (water, wastewater, etc.) and evaluation of various local authority (zoning, land use, police power, etc.) to replace redevelopment and tax increment financing.
The big events relating to local telecommunications facility regulation and how they fit together; history of Section 332; subsequent case law; the FCC's "shot clock" ruling and Supreme Court case; other pieces to the puzzle.
The Federal Communications Commission is considering adopting rules that could limit local governments’ zoning authority and allow wireless-service providers to add facilities to existing buildings, towers, and other structures in public rights-of-way and elsewhere. The wireless industry will likely push the federal agency to adopt rules that will allow them to place and expand facilities with little or no oversight.

involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,

different when presented on tax day – April 15th.
3. Government Relations Services
CAVEATS/GIVENS
• Local governments’ future ability to tax or impose fees on any
type of communications service provider is at serious risk.
• Communications tax reform may be inevitable in 2013-14 at
the Federal level. Don’t lose at the state level before then.
• Reform need not be bad for local governments.
• Locals must be far more active participants if interests are to be
protected.
• Communications tax “reform” at the federal or state level is a
very dangerous game for local governments who have the
most to lose and possible the least to gain.
• Tim Lay Rule: “Beware of legislation that has ‘fairness’ in
the title of the bill!”

2013-14 YEARS OF TAXES AND
DEFINITIONS
• What is the classification of broadband?
Telecomm

• What services/goods are subject to state and
local taxation?
Local purchases
Local purchases over the internet/catalog sales
6. Government Relations Services
Marketplace Fairness Act
H.R. 684/S. 366
• Aims to eliminate the current disadvantage
suffered by brick-and-mortar retailers vis-à-vis
online retailers by allowing states and local
governments to collect sales and use taxes on
remote (typically online) sales to their residents.
• State must adopt either Streamlined Sales and Use Tax
Agreement or Alternative Minimum Simplification
Requirements.
• Legislation creates a small seller exception (less $1m
in annual sales.)
6
7. Government Relations Services
Marketplace Fairness Act
H.R. 684/S. 366
• Legislation does not create any new taxes nor
increase existing taxes, simply provides for
enforcement of existing authority.
• Estimates are that legislation would provide
$23 billion annually in uncollected tax revenue.
8. Government Relations Services
Internet Tax Freedom Act (“ITFA”)
ITFA has been in effect since 1998, currently scheduled to
expire in November, 2014.
Expect activity in next year in Congress as 2014 deadline
approaches.
ITFA “walls off” from state and local taxation the largest,
and fastest growing, form of communications —
broadband.
ITFA must be repealed or allowed to expire as a condition
of reform or this is simply an industry tax reduction
exercise, not true tax reform.
8
9. Government Relations Services
ITFA
• As what was formerly telecom is supplanted by
broadband, states and locals are left with a
shrinking communications service tax base.
• Left in place, the ITFA will eventually “tax
exempt” all, or almost all, of the entire
telecommunications industry’s services.
• Unless telecom tax “reform” is coupled with
ITFA repeal, industry will have no incentive to
ever let ITFA expire.
10. Government Relations Services
Wireless Tax Fairness Act
• In last Congress legislation passed the
House, but was left pending in Senate
• Would impose a 5-year moratorium on
any new “discriminatory”, or any
increase in existing, state or local taxes
on wireless services; would grandfather
existing taxes.
• Will return in 2013.
10
11. Government Relations Services
The Digital Goods and Services Tax
Fairness Act.
• Legislation creates a nationwide “tax
preference” for online goods and services over
competing brick-and-mortar sales by limiting s
state and local taxes on “digital goods and
services.”
• Downloaded music and videos;
• Pay-per-View (PPV) and video-on-demand (VoD)
revenue from the cable franchise fee revenue base.
• Will return in 2013.
11
13. Government Relations Services
Communications tax “reform”
• Basic approach
• Collapse all communications-related taxes and fees (cable
franchise fees, perhaps PEG fees, DBS, landline telecom &
wireless) into a single tax.
• Move responsibility for imposition, collection and auditing
of the tax to the state level.
• Examples include VA, FL, KY, OH, and NC.
• DOWNSIDE: Eliminate communications-related ROW
fees
13
14. Government Relations Services
Communications tax “reform.”
•Benefits for industry:
• Lower tax administration costs.
• Lower taxes, except perhaps for DBS.
• Greater protection against future tax increases.
•Risks to local governments:
• Loss of ability to control local tax structure and policy, and
thus control over local budget revenues.
• Loss of auditing authority to ensure correct amounts are paid.

16. Government Relations Services
MUNICIPAL BONDS:
• Tax-exempt municipal bonds are the single most
important tool that local government and special
districts use for financing our critical infrastructure.
Any change to the taxation status of often voter-
approved debt issued by counties risks local public
works projects that benefit communities and puts into
question the nature of the U.S federal-state-local
partnership
• Current Market = Over 1.5 million municipal bonds
outstanding, totaling more than $3.7 trillion
17. Government Relations Services
TAX-EXEMPTION REDUCTION AND
ELIMINATION PROPOSALS
• Senate Budget Resolution – Suggests the possibility of a cap being
placed on tax expenditures, which could include the exemption
for interest earned on municipal bonds.
• FY2013/2014 White House Budget Proposal – 28% Cap on
Municipal Tax Exemption
Impact: If a 28-percent benefit cap on tax-exempt interest had been in
effect during the last decade, it is estimated that this would have cost
states and localities an additional $173 billion in interest expense for
infrastructure projects financed over the past ten-year period
• 2010 Simpson-Bowles Commission – Full Repeal of Municipal
Tax Exemption
Impact: If this proposal had been in place during the 2003–2012 period,
it is estimated that the $1.65 trillion of state and local infrastructure
investment would have cost governments an additional $495 billion of
interest expense
