Prevents deep school cuts and provides billions in new funding. Without Prop. 30, our schools and colleges face $6 billion in devastating cuts this year. Prop 30 provides billions in new funding for our schools starting this year — supporting everything from smaller class sizes to afterschool programs.
Guarantees local public safety funding. Prop. 30 establishes a guarantee for public safety funding in our state’s constitution, where it can’t be touched without voter approval. This will keep cops on the street and save the state billions in prison costs over the long term.
Helps balance the budget. Prop. 30 balances our budget and helps us pay down California’s debt-built up by years of gimmicks, borrowing and phony solutions.

VOTE YES!!!!!!!!!!!! Unless you want the cuts, then you get what you asked for!

Governor Brown’s Proposition 30 is the WRONG solution for the problems affecting California. California has a STRUCTURAL deficit because we spend too much and on the wrong things. VOTE NO on PROPOSITION 30.

You can only imagine what he does to editorial boards…
