Governor Jerry Brown wants to raise income tax and state taxes for the next seven years with the aid of Proposition 30. This tax raise should bring in approximately 6 billion dollars of revenue. This money will be used for kindergarten through the 12th grade, including higher learning such as Junior Colleges. Prop. 30 will also provide money for public safety services like Police Departments and Fire Departments. Right now Governor Jerry Brown’s proposal has a narrow lead in a recent field poll. According to the latest field poll 51% of voters are in favor of Prop. 30. Don’t forget Prop. 30 will be on the November Ballot. People in favor have dropped from 54% to 51% according to a poll earlier this year. 36% of voters recently polled oppose Prop. 30 and 13% are not sure how they will vote this November.

According to this article in the Los Angeles Times, universities are trying to spread the word about Prop 30. I now know this first hand, because I am researching Prop. 30 for my English 1A class at Cabrillo College. Prop. 30 has sparked an interest in me because I am a college student that might be affected. This proposition is a very important topic.  Depending on what happens at the polls tens of thousands of college students will be affected. This includes kindergarden through the 12^th grade. We will have to wait for the outcome of this November’s ballot. There will be a big impact one way or another, including parents, students, teachers, alumni, and employers. If Prop. 30 does not pass many people will lose their jobs. Also, if Prop 30 fails tuition will go up 5%.

According to California state university officials, the acceptance of some students will depend on whether Prop.30 is passed this November. Right now the voters are holding onto the linch pin. Again, it is very important that we use our right to vote. Recently a letter was emailed to students at CSU Monterey Bay. The letter said that enrollment will depend on whether Prop 30 passes. This fact hits close to home because I live in the Monterey Bay area, and I have been thinking about transferring to California State University Monetary Bay. Unfortunately, the University of California’s system will face a $250 million dollar cut if Prop 30 fails at the ballot polls this November. It is vital that Prop. 30 passes. Many people will be affected. Only time will tell. It is vital Prop. 30 passes many people will be affected, only time will tell. If Prop. 30 fails each student will have to pay $150 dollars more per semester. Not to mention there will be less space for students and less classes available.
