- <p> DIED. Paul Gann, 77, crusading co-author (with Howard
- Jarvis) of California's tax-cutting Proposition 13; of
- pneumonia complicated by AIDS; in Sacramento. The Jarvis-Gann
- Initiative, overwhelmingly approved by California voters in
- 1978, cut the state's property taxes in half and inspired
- similar tax-revolt measures across the country. Gann developed
- AIDS two years ago from a blood transfusion received during
- heart surgery. While bearing no grudge against the donor, Gann
- believed that people who knowingly transmit the disease "should
- be tried for murder."
