Abstract:
The adoption of Proposition 13 in 1978 sent shock waves throughout the American polity. California's attack on property taxes was not the first fiscal limitation adopted in the 1970s, but it carried clear national implications that the earlier measures lacked. By successfully challenging the political establishment, the initiative drive in the Golden State energized campaigns elsewhere to restrict taxes. The echo of Proposition 13 reverberated in Massachusetts, whose voters approved a cap on property taxes (Proposition 2 ½) in 1980. Citizens on the nation's two coasts had signaled thumbs down on fiscal affairs in their states.

Abstract:
Owners of 10 or more contiguous acres of forest land in Massachusetts are eligible to classify their property under a modified assessment-yield tax property tax law. This program is designed to increase the flow of timber products by decreasing the costs of engaging in a program of forest management. In return for lower annual property taxes the owner must practise forest management and pay a yield tax.Benefit-cost ratios, using two marginal analysis decision frameworks, were calculated to evaluate the economic efficiency of this program. The two decision frameworks yielded different results and, therefore, different conclusions about the efficiency of this tax incentive program. Key words: Special forest tax law, yield tax, benefit-cost analysis.

Abstract:
Abstract Over the last decade Florida property owners have saved billions of dollars in taxes due to a 1995 assessment cap initiative which reduced homeowner’s tax burdens. Florida is not alone in passing assessment caps, 20 other states have passed similar property tax reductions. Proponents of Florida’s initiative said the measure would protect the elderly, many of whom live on fixed incomes in retirement, from property tax inflation. This research examines the vertical and horizontal equity effects of assessment caps. Using data from a large MSA in Florida, the results provide new evidence on which groups of homeowners are more likely to benefit from these types of initiatives.

Abstract:
Public officials in local communities are regularly concerned with the level of their property tax burden compared to that of neighboring jurisdictions. Making meaningful comparisons of property taxes across communities is challenging, however, because differences in the economic characteristics of towns and cities play a key role in how the property tax is locally administered. This paper presents the results of a collaborative property tax benchmarking initiative undertaken by a group of municipalities in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area. Property tax practices were compared across jurisdictions to develop a detailed depiction of tax differentials across the region.

Abstract:
The California experience previous to the passage of Proposition 13 taught the citizens of California that even with representation, the freedoms of individuals could be threatened. This lesson is especially true when we see the assessment scandals, a rapidly increasing real estate market and the failure of California’s representative officials to respond to the threat to individual liberty. In addition to watching corrupt tax assessors take advantage of the system, individuals were tired of paying inflated property taxes that were changing drastically from year to year. People’s homes were literally being taken from them by the power of the tax collector. This strongly deviated from the initial founding of our nation that was supposed to be “of the people, by the people and for the people.” While few people initially expected Proposition 13 to pass, ultimately it passed with 64.8 percent of the vote. The initiative process in California gave individuals the opportunity to make a constitutional amendment to the California Constitution in regards to the taxation processes of the government. With the passage of Proposition 13, the citizens of California made their statement.

Abstract:
Many retirees will not have enough money from conventional retirement programs to maintain their standard of living once they stop working. To help support themselves, they will need to tap their home equity, the major asset for most middle-income older households. Yet tapping home equity is difficult: most people are reluctant to downsize and, even when they do, they rarely reduce their housing expenses. Reverse mortgages are an option, but most households are put off by the enormity of the decision, the complexity of the product, and the high up-front costs. A state-wide property tax deferral program overcomes the hurdles to accessing home equity. Property tax deferral does not provide access to as much home equity as a reverse mortgage, but the offsetting advantage is that some of the house value after the repayment of the loan and interest will be available for a bequest. At the household level, the proposed program is revenue neutral: all taxes owed by a participating household are paid back, with interest sufficient to cover borrowing costs and administrative expenses. But because loans are made well in advance of repayments, the sponsor of the plan must cover start-up costs. In Massachusetts, if the state government simply borrowed money to cover the annual outlays, the state’s ratio of debt to gross state product would rise from 14 percent to 15.1 percent. The alternative is to involve the private sector. This decision would raise the costs to homeowners, but it may nevertheless be necessary in order to get a broad-based program up and running.

Abstract:
This chapter assesses Article XII-A of the Oklahoma constitution, which concerns homestead exemptions from taxation. Section 1 provides that “all homesteads as is or may be defined under the Laws of the State of Oklahoma for tax exemption purposes, may hereafter be exempted from all forms of ad valorem taxation by the Legislature.” An “ad valorem tax” is a tax that is imposed on the value of property. Section 2 was added by initiative petition in 1935 and tied the legislature’s hands by stating that the definition of a homestead may not be diminished by the legislature; the legislature may only increase or expand the definition. Additionally, statutes regarding homesteads’ exemptions from ad valorem taxation are to be in effect for at least twenty years after enactment; after that, those statutes can be repealed or amended by the legislature.

Abstract:
Abstract Americans outside Massachusetts proved so adept in following Boston’s violent example that we may suspect that they did not need it. Needed or not, Boston’s action offered a model that captured attention everywhere in America. Revulsion from the Stamp Act permeated social groups of all sorts and came to focus, almost naturally it seems, on the men chosen to distribute the stamped paper—on the tax collectors and their friends. By the end of October all but two of the stamp distributors had resigned, usually in order to save their lives and property; and of the remaining two, one, William Houston of North Carolina, gave way on November 16, and the other, George Angus, appointed for Georgia, did not arrive in America until January 1766.

Abstract:
Abstract In the early 1980s, the lottery industry convinced voters angry over taxes to legalize gambling to help bolster state revenue. In search of new markets for its products, Scientific Games Inc., the creator of instant, scratch off lottery tickets, persuaded voters in California and six other states that lotteries offered a solution for stressed state budgets. In the aftermath of the tax revolt, voters were desperate to reinstitute state services without reinstituting high property taxes. The company drafted legislation and hired signature gatherers to put lottery initiatives on state ballots. These proposals tied lotteries to particular state programs—education or public parks, for example—and told voters that if they supported this program, then they should support a lottery. By taking advantage of the ballot initiative process and voters angry over taxes, Scientific Games restarted the spread of state lotteries.

Abstract:
Right now the open education is reality, distributing high quality free for use knowledge over the world. Open Educational Resources (OERs) are shared in a wide variety of forms and sizes - from a learning instruction to open courses and virtual laboratories. An initiative, starting in 2001 with an announcement of Massachusetts Institute of Technology to ensure free access to many courses, nowadays it gains big popularity, involving many institutions and initiatives. At this time, it is talking about OER communities, OER platforms and OER digital repositories. Students, educators and researchers benefit from OERs reusing, remixing, revising or redistributing this treasure. Emerging the question related to the level of OERs free usage, adaptation and distribution without the user to come under the strikes of copyright law or "How open are OERs?" In this paper, the creative commons licenses are discussed to understand the rights from the side of copyright owners and from the other side of OERs users. For this purpose, the licenses that can be used for protection of copyright owners: Attribution (BY), Attribution-Non-commercial (BY-NC), Attribution-Share alike (BY-SA), Attribution-Non-commercial-Share alike (BY-NC-SA), Attribution-No derivatives (BY-ND), Attribution-Non-commercial-No derivatives (BY-NC-ND) are described. Then, the case studies from educational practices are explored and analyzed to understand how the OERs are copyrighted. And finally, the consequences of the intellectual property law violations are examined and summarized. The paper will be useful for educational professionals who have already started OERs initiatives or who have intention to do that. Also, it can help students when they use or share digital resources.
