PROPOSITION 30 OUTLINES:
         Proposition 30 has a few destinations with their Tax increasing fund. The plan of this proposition will be to: Increase personal income tax on residents of the state of California who make over 250k a year for a seven year length: Increase California sales, and use tax by a quarter cent for a period of four years. The predicted outcome to this proposition will aim to raise billions of dollars over the following seven years which are claimed to be spent on schools from K-12, and community colleges as well. (The percentage will be 89% for K-12 and 11% for the community colleges). In case the proposition would fail it will cause a $250 million trigger cut to the UC system, but if the proposition does not pass they argue that it will cause them serious depth in budget cuts of up to $6 billion, and for which they need to pass prop 30.                        http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/factsheets/Prop_30_fact_sheet.pdf

  AGAINST PROPOSITION 30:
         The arguments between the voters who are against it say it is not the road to take. They mention how it's just another gambling role game from the politics. They mention [NO ON PROP 30: it is only a $50 billion "shell game" and doesn't GUARANTEE new funds for schools]. The opposing party explains how the massive tax hike will just be a part of recovery to other over spends. They state that not a single penny is guaranteed to go to schools, and believe the politicians will not spend the money where they are expected to, because of other past missing reforms. The prop 30 op-posers will continue to try to vote no on this proposition.

    PROPOSITION 30 SURVEYS:
          As the days go by, and the big day comes closer to vote for the proposition. A survey was taken to view the percentage of votes. This survey was updated on 9-20-12. While reviewing the votes they recognized that some of the prop 30 voters seem to be having second thoughts about their vote in favor of proposition. There was a 51% of the estimated voters is in favor of the proposition. This percentage dropped from a 54% that was recorded earlier. The opposition was viewed as a steady 36%, and the undecided was stated at 13% while in July that percent was only 8. This has come to the attention of voters because it's a very complicated vote. There is a similar proposition that is on the same process, which is Prop 38. This proposition only changes a few details. If both propositions are voted ‘YES’ it can cause serious problems to our state budgets, because of the different intents they both have.
