Proposition 92 is one of seven propositions on the February ballot. (I just received a supplemental voters guide from the Secretary of State and my sample ballot.) Proposition 92 limits fee hikes at community colleges (what used to be called “Junior Colleges”). It also changes how California’s education dollars are allocated, increasing the amount that goes toward community colleges.
Surprise, surprise: Community college leaders are for the proposition. Lining up against the proposition are the California Chamber of Commerce, the California Taxpayers’ Association, and some K-12 teachers. They claim that Proposition 92 gives a “blank check” to fund community colleges, lack accountability, and California is facing a budget deficit.
Make up your own mind, and remember to vote on February 5th.
