California Constitution, but they will face higher property taxes when the crops go to packing facilities and processing areas. Almond Alliance, California Farm Bureau Federation and California Chamber of Commerce Positions The Almond Alliance, California Farm Bureau Federation and California Chamber of Commerce all strongly oppose the split roll proposal. The commonly shared belief is that a split roll proposal will hurt the business community as well as employees and consumers, thereby having a negative impact on our entire economy. An almost $11 billion split roll tax increase will prevent businesses from hiring new employees and, potentially, from keeping existing ones. The stability and predictability brought by Proposition 13 has allowed California businesses to compete nationally despite the high cost of doing business in this state. A “yes” vote supports this constitutional amendment to require commercial and industrial properties to be taxed based on their market value, rather than their purchase price. A “no” vote opposes this constitutional amendment, thus continuing to tax commercial and industrial properties based on a property’s purchase price, with annual increases equal to the rate of inflation or two percent, whichever is lower.
