Background

This is the ranked choice vote for the GPCA to take a position Proposition 38: Tax To Fund Education and Early Childhood Programs. Initiative Statute.

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 38. An 'oppose' vote means the GPCA would oppose Proposition 38. A 'no position' vote means the GPCA would not take a position on Proposition 38. 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: Tax To Fund Education and Early Childhood Programs. Initiative Statute.

http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/vig-public-display/110612-general-election/prop-38/prop-38-title-summary.pdf

"Increases personal income tax rates for annual earnings over $7,316 using sliding scale from .4% for lowest individual earners to 2.2% for individuals earning over $2.5 million, for twelve years. During first four years, allocates 60% of revenues to K-12 schools, 30% to repaying state debt, and 10% to early childhood programs. Thereafter, allocates 85% of revenues to K-12 schools, 15% to early childhood programs. Provides K-12 funds on school-specific, per-pupil basis, subject to local control, audits, and public input. Prohibits state from directing new funds."

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

"Increase in state personal income tax revenues from 2013 through 2024. The revenue would be roughly $10 billion in 2013-14, tending to increase over time. The 2012-13 revenue increase would be about half this amount. In each of the initial years, about $6 billion would be used for schools, $1 billion for child care and preschool, and $3 billion for state savings on debt payments. The 2013-14 amounts likely would be higher due to the additional distribution of funds raised in 2012-13. From 2017-18 through 2024-25, the shares spent on schools, child care, and preschool would be higher and the share spent on debt payments lower."

Yes/No Statement

"A YES vote on this measure means: State personal income tax rates would increase for 12 years. The additional revenues would be used for schools, child care, preschool, and state debt payments."

"A NO vote on this measure means: State personal income tax rates would remain at their current levels. No additional funding would be available for schools, child care, preschool, and state debt payments."
