Look hard for 1033 on your Ballot
I nearly missed voting on Initiative measure 1033 because of where it is located on the ballot.
It is in the lower left corner of the first page at the bottom of the instructions.
Do not presume that the whole left column is instructions - Initiative 1033 is at the bottom. Look for it. Find it. Vote NO.

Adjusting for inflation only allows you to purchase this year's goods next year at their inflated price. And in actuality an additional problem is that Eyman's proposed adjustment is for consumer prices, and that index does not track government service costs like for Medicaid or education.
There is no free lunch. We have already cut $1.5 billion from education this year. Let's guess how people will feel about the few dollars people might get rebated to them on their property taxes when they see the decreased education their children will get.
Colorado passed a similar measure to Eyman's I-1033 and spending for K12 education went from 35th to 49th in the country. Maybe we can be 50th.
