Prop 30 Campaign Officially Starts


Governor Brown kicked off the official campaign for his tax initiative - Prop 30 - which, as readers of this blog will know - was endorsed by the Regents. Early polling has shown a bare majority of voters favor it (and the other two tax initiatives on the November ballot are polling poorly).  It is unclear how much funding the opposition to Prop 30 will be able to raise for a negative campaign.  However, Prop 38 - the "Munger tax" initiative which is focused on schools - does have money behind it and its campaign will push the argument that it is the real initiative that benefits schools.

A TV news report on the governor's kick off can be seen below (ad appears first):
