"California budgets 50% of the entire budget on education, unfortunately 75% of that amount does not reach the classrooms, goes for administrative salaries and etc. I favor a huge trim at the top."
If you go to
http://www.ebudget.ca.gov/StateAgencyBudgets/6010/agency.html
you will see that 32% of the budget goes to education, not 50%.
Also, where did you find that 75% of California's education budget does not reach the classroom? Thanks.
Tom McClintock for one, and also another Assemblymen cannot recall at the moment.
But 50% is the known for quite sometime, heard it also on radio. Interesting, the disparity don't you think.
