California Voters Approve Higher Taxes
2012-11-09
[Online.WSJ] In approving a ballot measure sought by Gov. Jerry Governor Moonbeam Brown
... those who ignore history are bound to repeat it ...
 to raise taxes for several years, Caliphornians took a step toward improving the state's fiscal situation and avoiding education cuts.

According to the Caliphornia Secretary of State's website, 53.9% of voters backed the measure, Proposition 30, while 46.1% voted against it, with all votes counted except for provisional and some mailed-in ballots.

The approval is a significant victory for Mr. Brown, a Democrat, who has staked his governorship on a campaign to raise taxes to ease the effects of the state's budget crunch.

#5  Prop 30 was presented as a way to fully fund schools. The dirty secret was the only thing in education that was going to get money was the teachers retirement pension fund. I don't mind that, teaching in this PC society with all of the liberal agenda crap is hard even for a liberal.

The irony in all of this is that Brown was talking about what winning Prop 30 meant and he was talking about closing the budget deficit, funding the bullet train to nowhere, and several other liberal agenda programs and NEVER mentioned schools in his interview with the Left Coast Times...

I think Prop 30 will go down as the biggest screw job ever pulled on a state AND a state union in history.

I can't wait for the bloodbath as Jerry spends the money on every thing but education.
