Arguments

PRO Proposition 2 establishes a STRONG RAINY DAY FUND in the State Constitution that will force the Legislature and Governor to save money and pay down debts, which will shield TAXPAYERS from UNNECESSARY TAX INCREASES and PROTECT SCHOOLS from devastating cuts. BOTH Democrats and Republicans SUPPORT Proposition 2.

CON Vote NO on 2 to PROTECT SCHOOLS. Proposition 2 hides a DANGEROUS financial time bomb that will LIMIT districts’ ability to save. Proposition 2 helps to keep California ranked 50th in the nation in per pupil spending. Don’t trust Sacramento. Get facts from parents, not politicians at www.2BadForKids.org.
