Background

This is the ranked choice vote for the GPCA to take a position Proposition 30: Temporary Taxes to Fund Education. Guaranteed Local Public Safety Funding. Initiative Constitutional Amendment.

The choices are to rank 'endorse', 'oppose', 'no position' and/or 'abstain'. Delegates can rank as many (or as few) of these options in their order of preference.

An 'endorse' vote would mean the GPCA would endorse Proposition 30. An 'oppose' vote means the GPCA would oppose Proposition 30. A 'no position' vote means the GPCA would not take a position on Proposition 30. An 'abstain' vote means the voter is not expressing a preference, but is voting to help achieve quorum. Any of these position that receives 2/3 after all preferences are transferred is the position of the party. If neither 'endorse' nor 'opposes' receive 2/3, the GPCA's position will be 'no position'.

Ballot Title and Summary: Temporary Taxes to Fund Education. Guaranteed Local Public Safety Funding. Initiative Constitutional Amendment.

http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/vig-public-display/110612-general-election/prop-30/prop-30-title-summary.pdf

"Increases personal income tax on annual earnings over $250,000 for seven years. Increases sales and use tax by ¼ cent for four years. Allocates temporary tax revenues 89% to K-12 schools and 11% to community colleges. Bars use of funds for administrative costs, but provides local school governing boards discretion to decide, in open meetings and subject to annual audit, how funds are to be spent. Guarantees funding for public safety services realigned from state to local governments."

Summary of Legislative Analyst's Estimate of Net State and Local Government Fiscal Impact

"Additional state revenues of about $6 billion annually from 2012-13 through 2016-17. Smaller amounts of additional revenue would be available in 2011-12, 2017-18 and 2018-19. These additional revenues would be available to fund programs in the state budget. Spending reductions of about $6 billion in 2012-2013, mainly to education programs, would not take effect."

Yes/No Statement

"A YES vote on this measure means: The state would increase personal income taxes on high-income taxpayers for seven years and sales taxes for four years. The new tax revenues would be available to fund programs in the state budget."

"A NO vote on this measure means: The state would not increase personal income taxes or sales taxes. State spending reductions, primarily to education programs, would take effect in 2012-13."
