In reply to Muckapoo. Evidently you haven’t been in a classroom in a long time. Lazy teachers? I didn’t see many teachers at my school leave at 2:30 as there is always prep work to do and sending notifications to parents. In CA many classrooms are overcrowded and you have children with different abilities, skills, and speak different languages. They all take the same tests whether they get any help or support at home. Try volunteering. I think you would find it an eye opener.

More money for the lazy teachers? Only when they have to stand up to strict measurements. Prove their worth. Sorry, I am not in favor of the 9am to 2:30 pm, with breaks, work days being overworked. and underpaid. Part time effort demanding full time pay and benefits. Phooey.

It will pass. The politicians and all the gummymint employee unions will make sure of it. They’ve got hundreds of millions to spend on campaigning so they will con the people just like they did to defeat prop 6.

The pensions are massively underfunded and the politicians and gummymint employee unions will bleed the taxpayers white in an effort to save them.

In reply to Steven Armstrong. Steven Armstrong you are so right! Enough tax hikes. It’s about time to support businesses and the public, it special interests.b

Will this finally cause the awakening in people who formerly voted Democrat? Surely at some point even liberals will tire of the constant robbing of their income via taxes and fees. The current excessive gas tax hurts the poor the most. Gavin was a huge mistake. We missed a great opportunity not electing Travis Allen.

In reply to dc1. You are so right! I’m getting out of this liberal decimated state soon- I’ve had enough of these Socialist/Commie Demorats!

Incredibly stupid to think of these things, but not surprising. If the teacher’s union is in favor of anything, I know it’s a terrible and self serving idea. As far as raising corporate property taxes, let’s make it even more compelling for companies to leave the state. Taxing millionaires always polls well because most people aren’t millionaires. CA’s top tax rate is already 13.3% which is miles higher than any other state income tax in the country. I can see the moving vans packing up for other states in droves if either of these moronic taxes gets approved.
