Tax cap petition moves forward
By Daniel Trudeau
Former Assemblywoman Sharron Angle: Campaign photoThe so-called tax cap ballot initiative — which would limit property taxes to 1 percent of a property's 2003-2004 value and curb increases at 2 percent or the rate of inflation — moved a step closer to the November ballot, The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Tuesday.
According to the paper, Secretary of State Ross Miller directed the state's 17 county clerks and registrars to begin verifying the 83,600 signatures submitted by the initiative's backers.
The group needs 58,628 valid signatures from registered voters — including a sufficient number from each county — to advance the initiative to the ballot, the Review-Journal reported.
The Property Tax Reform Initiative for Nevada has been a pet concern of state Senate candidate and former Assemblywoman Sharron Angle.
Angle has been actively seeking a cap on property taxes for four years. She's running for a seat in the state Senate in the Aug. 12 Republican primary.

Sharon, please disappear.
Sharon, please disappear. The tax cap that's already in place is harming the ability of the State and local governments to provide for the citizens.
Please, please, go away. If you wont, I'll move out of state with my wife and three kids to a state where they can receive a good education and decent health care.
Bass, please move
Dear Mr fivelbAss, please do move away. It is the sponges like you who cause government to bloat. Pay for the things you want, and quit expecting US to pay more taxes to educate and provide care for YOUR kids and all the other illegals just because you want to drink beer and fish all day.
We have a right to vote on issues, so maybe you should move to a communist state if you don't like it.
