Fountain Fall Festival
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., made history on September 20, 2023 as more than 1,100 registered women of Zeta and Amicae gathered for a day of education and advocacy at the historic Lincoln Theatre in Washington, D.C. The audience was treated to informative presentations from a powerful group of panelists and remarks from special guest, the Hon. Marcia L. Fudge, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Additionally, International President & CEO Grant awarded Attorney Ben Crump with the inaugural Social Justice Trailblazer Award.
Proposition HH – On Your Ballot Reduce Property Taxes and Retain State Revenue
Proposition HH contains three main components:
1. Provides some property tax relief by lowering assessment rates for both residential and certain types of nonresidential properties, providing a reduction in value for certain residential properties, and by increasing the senior homestead exemption and making that exemption portable.
2. Imposes a limit on growth in property tax revenue for local governments (except for school districts and home rule jurisdictions), which would be capped at the rate of inflation. Local governments can exceed the revenue limit if the governing body, on an annual basis, notifies the public, holds a meeting for public comment, and adopts an ordinance or resolution.
3. Seeks a voter-approved revenue change that would allow the state to retain and spend part of the state surplus (TABOR cap) up to the “Proposition HH cap.” This money will then be used to provide a partial and contingent backfill for the property tax revenues that local governments will lose out on because of the various reductions that will go into effect and to provide rental assistance; the largest portion of the state-retained revenue will go to fund K-12 education.
