Proposal A has been in the news quite a bit of late. Some elected officials are even going so far as to say they would "tweak" Prop A. I understand that we are coming up on the 10 year anniversary of the passage of Proposal A, and so it is right to look back on it. Perhaps I can take a moment and highlight some of the benefits we have seen as a result of Prop A...
-Homeowners are paying less in property taxes. -The disparity between the poor school districts and wealthy school districts have shrunk. -Per pupil funding has increased 60% from $4,200 to 6,700 since Prop A passed. -Public school funding has increased from $9.3 billion in 1993 to over $14.5 billion in FY 2003
