Schewel said the only similarity between his proposal and California’s celebrated Proposition 13, which deals with property taxes, is that both serve to notify federal legislators of “tremendous grassroots support” for limitations on government spendings.
The pair said they expect strong support for their resolution in the General Assembly except from legislators representing more urban areas, particularly Northern Virginia.
