Saying it is for education probably really means it is for teachers’ already bloated pensions. The teacher’s union is holding the kids hostage for indulging their greed.

I am here in California, and my daughter is in a junior college. Still I say vote no!

Starve the beast! It’s a hostage scheme and there is only one way out! Bankruptcy for California, and the sooner the better!

I live on a small island in WA with 5000 population. Approximately half of the population are Californians and the majority of them are retired teachers, cops, firemen and pilots.

In my line of employment I see financial information on these folks and it’s quite typical to see pensions of $70-100k per year from a City, County or State of California. Guess what? There is no state income tax in WA. so they file their taxes from here.

Winter when it’s cold and rainy, they return to the sunny south where they continue to have Prop 13 benefits on their homes. Car tabs....WA has a flat fee of $42 no matter the car. Prop 30 won’t hurt these Californians and they could care less. Lots of Permanent Disability Californians as well.
