Living in Nebraska ... ... Our gas taxes are some of the highest however.
I am in favor of prop 13. I have a friend that has a 100+ acre ranch right in the middle of a big city. It has been in his family since the 1800's. Why should he have to move? Prop 13 has inabled him to keep it. The state will get there money if it ever sells. My two cents.

Nebraska's state levied gasoline taxes are currently 27.3 cents a gallon, which is practically smack dab on the national average (27.2 cents). There are more than a dozen states (mine included) that are over 30 cents per gallon. For diesel fuel, they are also close to the middle of the pack, with 18 states having higher tax rates.ref: http://www.api.org/statistics/fueltaxes/upload/State_MotorFuel_ExciseTax_Notes_4-2009.pdf
