What does Governor Browns new state budget proposal mean for Measure A? Since hes proposing to keep K-12 funding flat, do we still need Measure A?
We absolutely still need Measure A. First, the governor’s budget assumes the Legislature, and then the voters of California, approve a number of tax extensions — which is not at all guaranteed. Second, it does not replace the millions in cuts that have already occurred in our schools, and it does not replace Alameda’s current local parcel taxes that expire next year. So even with the governor’s budget, Alameda schools will see serious additional program cuts without a new parcel tax.
