Sacramento– Gov. Schwarzenegger unveiled a plan showing which California programs will suffer from deep cuts if the special election ballot measures fail next Tuesday. He also proposed selling San Quentin State Prison, the Cow Palace in Daly City, as well as the LA Coliseum, if voters don’t approve his tax increases and saving plan, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Eric Beach of Californians Against New Taxes said there is no need to hike taxes.
At Redwood High School, teacher William Crabtree says he plans on voting for the measures, but thinks most in his community won’t.
“I think there’s kind of a palpable mistrust of Sacramento,” Crabtree said.
Californians will have a say in how the state handles the huge budget shortfall, but most people haven’t even looked at the propositions and studied the choices, or even plan on voting.
