The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association would like to thank Allison Dynda Sain for donating a collection of memorabilia from the history of Proposition 13.
Allison’s dad, Ernie Dynda, was one of the founders in 1965 of the United Organization of Taxpayers, and he served as its first president and CEO. Howard Jarvis was elected state chairman of the group. In 1978, with Chuck Betz as president, UOT became a guiding force behind Proposition 13. In 2016, UOT and HJTA merged. Ernie and Chuck were honored with the HJTA Lifetime Achievement Award.
Sadly, Ernie passed away in 2020 and Chuck in 2022. All of us at the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association are grateful for their legacy of work on behalf of Californians then, now and for generations to come.
