YES on Prop. 55 – in under 40 days – from VTA-PAC

The countdown has begun! We have just under 40 days before the General Election, when we go to the polls with the opportunity to pass Proposition 55. Saying YES to Prop. 55 will maintain the tax rate on the wealthiest Californians and prevent public schools from enduring billions of dollars in funding cuts. Of the many press items on the virtues of Prop. 55 – and what could await California should it not pass – we’ve selected these five pieces from Capital & Main for your perusal:

California Comeback: A New Series
CA Comeback: How a Ballot Measure Brought America’s Largest Public School System Back From the Brink
CA Comeback: For Teachers, Invisible Scars and Wary Hopes
CA Comeback: When Budgets Shrank and Classrooms Exploded
CA Comeback: Will Health and Human Services Escape Future Cuts?

It can’t be stressed strongly enough: We must pass Prop. 55 to avoid going back to the days of massive teacher layoffs, overcrowded classrooms, slashed art and music classes, and tuition hikes for our community college students.
