            In “San Diego Union Tribute Opinion-Prop.30 invests in education, economy” By Bill Freeman president of the 7,000 member San Diego Education Association explains why we should vote yes on prop 30. Freeman explains that proposition 30 will tax the wealthiest more for seven year. He explains that prop 30 is the only hope to stop millions of cuts to school. Without this proposition they will be less classroom aid, librarians, and counseling for our students. i agree with Freeman and I hope this investment will work or else it will be really hard for me to continue in Cabrillo College.

Lawmakers in Sacramento want colleges to start operating more economically. This article shows the reality of what could happen to my future and of many other students if prop 30 fails. I believe it’s a good prop but there are chances that it could fail.

 Jon Coupal.Spending Taxpayers Dollars to Push 30 is Illegal (Oh, and Political Stupid,     Too).Harward Javis             Taxpayers Association.1^st ed.N.P.September  17,2012.Web.23,9,2012

           In “Spending  Taxpayers Dollars to Push Prop 30 is Illegal (Oh, and Political Stupid, too)” analyzes the massive tax increase and the lies behind proposition 30.  While politicians are concerning what would happen if prop 30 does not works, they give raises and approving projects not necessary and leaving education to the side. California is the state in the nation that pays the highest tax sales and income tax. This article reveal to me and many other people that politicians are not using funds correctly.  They are using funds on other project not really necessary and leaving education on the proposition of a proposition.

Dina Marin.Prevent more cuts-yes on prop. 30.Teachers Assosiation.Vol 17 iss 1.N.P.n.d.Web.23,September,2012.

            In “Prevent More Cuts-Yes on Prop 30” by Dina Marti, Explains that education is not the only affected by the budget cuts but also the police departments. Pro 30 will fund classrooms and Police in the street for our safety. She explains that the tax will only increase temporarily for the wealthiest. The money goes straight to an special account that Legislatures can’t touch.  Martin also explains that if this proposition fails many schools will be getting millions of cuts. This means less teachers, nurses, counselors, and crowded classes. Governor Jerry Brown is hopeful that the wealthiest support his initiative for the future of our kids. Like Dina I hope voters make a good decision and the wealthiest decide to help. This will make a big difference because this proposition might decide if I continue school next semester.
