Regarding the proposed Prop. 98, for all intent and purpose here in New Jersey WE ALREADY HAVE A PROP. 98. The Public School System of NJ gets as much yearly increases AS ARE WANTED (not necessarily needed),...since by merely raising our already absurdly high and/or resident non-friendly property taxes is all that it takes.
Andy,
Regarding that theoretical $15,000 per student eventual tab, I must believe that you're right-on-the-money. After all, currently here (re. New Jersey) in another: "Politically machine run state", $15,000 per student is about what it costs to send a kiddy to Kindergarten through High School,...even though ironically less for bigger kiddies going to Rutgers. Go figure.
HC,
So then, and if I were you, I would send Old Arny flowers instead, just for having the sense of not turning California into another taxpayer unfriendly State like New Jersey. And besides,...most all tax increases for any reasons have never improved anything. Well,...for the vast majority and/or average taxpayer anyway. For politicos and foreigners,...that's another story altogether.
