 Checked all my social media for the ability to monetize. I'm good on Facebook, not there yet on X or YouTube; the others do not have monetization programs, though Bluesky intends to in '27. 

The Rock Star Book rewrite didn't happen this week.

Proposition 13 - America's Second Great Tax Revolt My First Book

 

In 1978, the citizens of California took the historic step of voting for Proposition 13, thus reducing property taxes by 57%. Already known as a trend setting state, California's tax revolt was no different, as similar tax revisions quickly spread across the United States of America. In California, state and local governments struggled to find a way to manage the loss in revenue. On many occasions budget cuts were the solution. Library budgets were frequently the target of those cuts.

Thanks for being a part of this!
