Calif. Gov. Brown takes chance with Proposition 30

California Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, insists Proposition 30 is needed to avoid deep cuts to public services, mainly education.

Proposition 30, which includes a temporary quarter-cent increase in the statewide sales tax and higher income taxes on those who make more than $250,000 a year, faces a well-funded opposition campaign that claims the $6 billion the higher taxes would generate each year would not help schools. "We tell them if you don't vote you're literally going to be voting for a tuition increase," said Ramirez, a graduate student at Cal State-Long Beach who is working to rally student support for the ballot measure.
