Editorial Urges ‘Yes’ Vote on Prop. 30, ‘No’ on Prop. 38
A San Jose Mercury News editorial argues that "California's financial stability may be at stake in this election," adding that "[t]he wrong tax directing money in the wrong way could speed the state's decline." It states, "We recommend voting yes on Proposition 30" -- developed by Gov. Jerry Brown (D) and supporters of the "Millionaires Tax" -- "and no on Proposition 38," a rival tax hike plan by attorney Molly Munger. According to the editorial, Prop. 30 is "measured and sensible," while Prop. 38 would "pile on bureaucracy and restrict flexibility" for using tax funds.
