For Proposition 13: Jerzy And Jolanta Lewak

For Proposition 13: Jerzy And Jolanta Lewak

Del Mar homeowners Jerzy and Jolanta Lewak tell KPBS why they voted for Prop 13. The Lewaks are among the 8 percent of homeowners in San Diego County who have owned their homes since the proposition passed in 1978.

Prop 13 rolled back property taxes, capped them at 1 percent of the purchase price, and limited yearly increases to 2 percent.

In a companion report, we profile Bill and Nancy Bamberger, who voted against Prop 13.
