We need to work to ensure passage of Proposition 30, which the activist base, teachers and the Governor’s office worked together to produce. While this bill does include a necessary tax increase, those incoming funds would be entirely directed toward our children and families to support education and public safety.

Proposition 30 will protect school and safety funding and help address the state’s chronic budget mess.

Prevents deep school cuts and provides billions in new funding. Without Prop. 30, our schools and colleges face $6 billion in devastating cuts this year.

Prop 30 provides billions in new funding for our schools starting this year — supporting everything from smaller class sizes to afterschool programs.

Guarantees local public safety funding. Prop. 30 establishes a guarantee for public safety funding in our state’s constitution, where it can’t be touched without voter approval. This will keep cops on the street and save the state billions in prison costs over the long term.

Helps balance the budget. Prop. 30 balances our state budget and helps us pay down California’s debt—built up by years of gimmicks, borrowing and phony solutions.

To protect schools and safety, Prop. 30 temporarily increases personal income taxes on the highest earners – couples with incomes over $500,000 a year — and establishes the sales tax at a rate lower than it was last year.
