Mr. Edwards continued that in 1978 the voters of California approved Proposition 13 which amended the State Constitution and it provided that cities may impose special taxes by a two-thirds vote of the qualified electors. Mr. Edwards concluded the California Supreme Court has upheld Proposition 13. West Covina imposed its tax before Proposition 13, therefore the procedures followed by West Covina are now obsolete.
