“I think Proposition 30 is important because it directly impacts us and the rest of the state. I think that while our tuition would rise if it doesn’t pass, the tax’s focus on high income earners may not be completely fair.”

“I would say Proposition 30 is most important. It’s very important to keep our UCs from becoming less affordable and less accessible. It’s important for the state as a whole because it affects K-12, community colleges and public services.”

“Proposition 30 is important because it’s heavily relevant to me and everyone else on this campus. I believe education is the most important investment a society can make. The only controversial aspect is raising taxes, which isn’t popular in America.”
Jefferson Bretthauer
Second-year, Porter
Business management, economics
“I feel like Proposition 30 is most important because we need more money and more access to higher education. My two brothers are about to graduate high school and I don’t want them to graduate with more debt than necessary. I want them to be hopeful about their future.”
