Spending on education has increased every year (both total and per student), including a $2.7 billion increase in the last budget. Math and english scores are even improving. Enough is enough. All we hear from teachers is, "money, children, money, children, money, money, money, MONEY!"

Weaken the Proposition 98 school-funding guarantee.
Stretch out repayment of $3.8 billion owed schools.

Prop 76 will not stop the overall spending level for education and does not guarantee any spending cuts or new taxes to sustain the same,, which is what got this state in the snit it is currently.

The legislature and Governor have the power today to rein in the spending, but they do not have the will nor are they willing to sacrifice their own places in the spotlight to just do the right thing and govern and not dictate new terms of surrender to the legal citizens of this state.


As usual, voters will be asked to decide what flavor koolaid they would like with their gubamint cheese.
