I didn’t know that, but I do know that CA’s teachers are overpaid.
Just do a search on HOW MUCH OF CALIFORNIA’S BUDGET GOES TO EDUCATION - the actual number is 42%
I remember when a teacher neighbor of ours was bragging that house smart the person was that handled the California teachers pension fund. He invested most of the money in CA real estate. This was before the crash.
So after that, I believe some sort of state taxes were raised in order to cover the deficit in the pension fund. I don’t remember exactly what though. Taxes were raised so many times on so many things while we lived there, I can’t keep track.
One of many many reasons why I escaped Mexifornia two years ago. The main reason that was the invasion. If I felt like I was living in the United States, we would still be there. It’s a beautiful state with so many outdoor things to do,. I hope one day Americans can reconquer it.
