Will Prop 30 Pass the Voters' Test?

As prior posts on this blog have noted, Proposition 30, the governor's tax initiative endorsed by the Regents, is polling marginally ahead. But it does not have a comfortable lead and the campaign is really just starting.  So will it lose its marginal lead, thus causing trigger cuts to UC? Ethan Rarick, California Fellow at the Institute of Governmental Studies at UC-Berkeley, does some analysis of past initiatives and concludes that the answer is - TA TA! - maybe yes/ maybe no.  Non-tax initiatives at this point in the campaign with poll numbers in the range of Prop 30’s do seem to pass.  But tax initiatives tend to lose more support than others as Election Day nears.  Certainly, Proposition 30 is no sure thing.

  2. Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favourite reason appeared to be at the net the easiest factor to
    take into account of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while other people consider concerns that they plainly don't realize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing with no need side effect , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thank you
