...correspondents and editors had to deal with a maze of figures about property taxes, assessments and the often stunning jump in real estate prices. For some correspondents, the statistics were academic and provoked only a mild incredulity. But for Los Angeles Bureau Chief William Rademaekers and Correspondent Joe Kane, the figures were a grim reality: as recent initiates to the California housing scene, they shared the experience and understood the bristling anger of many of the residents they interviewed...

Petty Officer Third Class Anthony Moseby, 23, for one, can. This...
...battle in California over the Jarvis-Gann initiative to reduce property taxes has reached an almost religious intensity. Reports TIME Correspondent Joseph Kane: "Reason and logic seem to have been put to flight, and taxpayers want revenge. The real propulsion behind the amendment is the need for people to send a message to government that enough is enough...
