7/30/2019 Who Supported California Proposition 30
1/14
California Proposition 30, Sales and Income TaxIncrease (2012)Proposition 30, a Sales and Income Tax Increase
Initiative, was on the November 6, 2012 ballot in
California as an initiated constitutional amendment,
where it was approved.[1]
Gov. Jerry Brown led the charge for Proposition 30,
which was a merger of two previously competing
initiatives; the "Millionaire's Tax" and Brown's First
Tax Increase Proposal.[2]
Proposition 30:
Raises Californias sales tax to 7.5% from 7.25%,
a 3.45% percentage increase over current law.
(Under the Brown Tax Hike, the sales tax would
have increased to 7.75%)[3][4]
Creates four high-income tax brackets for
taxpayers with taxable incomes exceeding
$250,000, $300,000, $500,000 and $1,000,000.
This increased tax will be in effect for 7 years.[3][5]
[6]
Imposes a 10.3% tax rate on taxable income over
$250,000 but less than $300,000--a percentage
increase of 10.6% over current policy of 9.3%. The
10.3% income tax rate is currently only paid by
taxpayers with over $1,000,000 in taxable income.[7].
Imposes an 11.3% tax rate on taxable income over
$300,000 but less than $500,000--a percentage
increase of 21.5% over current policy of 9.3%.
Imposes a 12.3% tax rate on taxable income over $500,000 up to $1,000,000--a percentage increase of
32.26% over current policy of 9.3%.
Imposes a 13.3% tax rate on taxable income over $1,000,000--a percentage increase of 29.13% over current
"millionaires tax" policy of 10.3%.
If this proposition is passed in November, 2012, the income tax will apply retroactively to all income
earned or received since the first of the year (1 January, 2012).Based on California Franchise Tax Board data for 2009 [8], the additional income tax is imposed on the top 3%
of California taxpayers.
Estimated revenue from Proposition 30 vary from Jerry Brown's $9 billion estimate to the $6.8 billion estimated by
the non-partisan Legislative Analysts Office (LAO).[9]. The difference stem for the volatility caused by capital gains
income from high-income earners, an issue in California's tax system previously identified by the Legislative
Analysts Office (LAO).[10]

Full list of opponents
The arguments in opposition to Proposition 30 presented in the state's official voter guide included:
There is no guarantee in the way it is written that the money would be used for schools. Thus, opponents say, it
is a "$50 billion shell game." To buttress this argument, opponents quote the California School Boards
Association, which in May 2012 said, "the Governor's initiative does not provide new funding for schools."[15]
"Nothing in Prop 30 reforms our education system to cut waste, eliminate bureaucracy or cut administrative
overhead."[15]
Instead of supporting education, the new tax money raised by Proposition 30 will really go to "backfill the
insolvent teacher's pension fund."[15]
"The Governor, politicians and special interests behind Proposition 30 threaten voters. They say 'vote for our
massive tax increase or we'll take it out on schools,' but at the same time, they refuse to reform the educationor pension systems to save money."[15]
"Politicians would rather raise taxes instead of streamlining thousands of state-funded programs...look at what
they just did: politicians authorized nearly $5 billion in California bonds for the 'bullet train to nowhere', costing
taxpayers $380 million a year. Let's use those dollars for schools! Instead, the politicians gave us a false
choice -- raise sales taxes by $1 billion per year and raise income taxes on small businesses OR cut schools."
Other arguments made against Proposition 30 included:
The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association conducted a "Don't Sign the Petition" campaign, urging people to
decline to sign the petition. On their website devoted to encouraging people not to sign the petition, they said,
"Petition gatherers may tell you their measure is to increase school funding. But simply put, Its a Tax Increase!
California is already a poorly managed state. We have a $15 billion budget deficit - a result of overspending -$500 billion in unfunded pension liabilities, a tax and regulatory climate that drives businesses away, wasteful
and ineffective use of our tax dollars and a political system unduly influenced by special interests. We do NOT
need higher taxes. Join us by telling everyone you know not to sign Jerry Brown's tax initiative."[18]
The income tax will be retroactive back to the first of the year (2012), a fundamentally unfair ploy that would not
be tolerated if it happened to you as an individual.
The dire "trigger cuts" threatened by proponents are NOT mandated if this measure does not pass. They are
NOT automatic. The legislature can choose a number of options to protect and reform education spending if
they wish. The touted "trigger cuts" are a political ploy -- nothing more.
Prop 30 funds can free up EXISTING general budget spending on education -- allowing those education funds
to then be spent on state worker pay increases, pensions -- and high speed rail to nowhere.California is already a very high tax state. We already have the 2nd highest state income tax rate, as well as
THE highest state sales tax rate. [19][20]
If Proposition 30 is approved, California will be by far #1 in income tax rates. It will be 21% higher than the 2nd
highest state (Hawaii), 34% higher than the 3rd highest state (Oregon), and FAR higher than all the rest
including seven states with zero state income tax.[21]
Proposition 30 is opposed by columnist Debra Saunders, who said, "I fear [it will] drive golden geese out of the
state. Sure, most families earning $500,000 or more aren't going to move over a lousy $5,000, but moguls who
make 20 times that and own multiple homes just might decide to migrate. And there go all their tax dollars." [22]
Some people who generally support tax increases in California said that they have problems with the specifics
of Proposition 30. An example of this was Molly Munger, who said, "You sort of hope that the Democrats arethe party that stand up for investment in children and in education. Those are two bedrock principles of the
Democratic Party. It is a little bit ironic that so many elements of the Democratic Party are, you know,
supporting an initiative that does not invest in the main engine we have for social mobility and opportunity in our
society, which is our K-12 schools."[23] Another example is columnist George Skelton, who said, "Brown wants
voters to believe that all the billions raised by his tax hike would go to K-12 schools and community colleges.
They won't. And he knows that as well as anyone."[24]

Molly Mungeradditionally said, "Underour proposal, virtually all the cuts that the schools have suffered in the
last four years would all be restoredand under the governor's initiative, virtually none would be."[25]
The "No on 30" campaign raised about $53.4 million as of November 3, 2012.
That amount, however, included well over $40 million in contributions to a joint
campaign committee (the Small Business Action Committee) that is
simultaneously supporting Proposition 32 and opposing Proposition 30.[26][27]
The donors listed in the chart below are the $20,000 and over donors to the "No
on 30" campaign as of Saturday, November 3, 2012. Some of these donors
gave their money to a committee that was simultaneously supporting or opposingmore than one of the ballot propositions on the November 6, 2012 ballot. When
that is the case, it is not generally possible to break down how much of that
donor's money specifically was spent on the campaign for a particular proposition. Those contributions are listed
below with shading; readers should not assume that all or even most of a donation to a multi-purpose committee
was used for expenditures related to this particular proposition.

The following table summarizes the Proposition 30 tax increases compared to existing tax policy. The table
includes the following information:
The starting income for the bottom end of the tax bracket (for single-filer taxpayers)
The income for the top end of the tax bracket (for single-filer taxpayers)
The marginal tax rate for the income bracket under current policyThe new tax rate for the income bracket under the proposed tax hike
The rate increase (proposed_rate - current_rate)
The percentage increase in the rate over current policy ( (proposed_rate - current_rate)/current_rate )
The number of taxpayers that will pay an increased tax rate under the proposed tax hike. These estimates
come from 2009 California Franchise Tax Board data.[8] There were 14,638,204 individual income tax payers
in 2009. The proposed tax hike affects approximately the top 400,000 taxpayers, about 2.7% of the taxpayer
population.
The percentage of taxpayers that will pay more taxes under the proposed tax hike. Again, these estimates
come from 2009 California Franchise Tax Board data.[8]
The extra amount owed due to the tax increase for incomes at the bottom end of the tax bracket
The extra amount owed due to the tax increase for incomes at the top end of the tax bracket

The Bay Area Reporter:"We support Prop 30 for several reasons, not the
least of which is that it is the product of the political process (although attempts
to reach a legislative compromise failed) in which the governor, the
Democratic majorities in the Legislature, and affected stakeholders were all
part of the negotiations and compromise that resulted in the proposition
before the voters."[28]

8/14
The Daily Democrat(Woodland, California): "This tax increase is supported
by Gov. Jerry Brown and would avoid deep cuts to public schools, community
colleges and universities."[29]
The Fresno Bee:"California's fiscal house remains shaky. Prop. 30 offers a
way for the state to start climbing out of its pit. It's not ideal. But it is the best
available option."[30]
The Lompoc Record:"...a tax increase to avoid calamity for school
funding."[31]
The Long Beach Press-Telegram:"Proposition 30 lets our children -- not
lawmakers -- off the hook."[32]
The Los Angeles Daily News:"Yes, our schools are being held hostage.
The right thing to do is pay up -- and then demand that the reforms begun in
Sacramento this year with pension and workers' comp reform continue.
Proposition 30 lets our children -- not lawmakers -- off the hook." [33]
The Los Angeles Times: "Two years of belt-tightening have left parts of the
state safety net in tatters and pushed college costs out of the reach of many
families. Cuts in aid to the poor and working poor in this year's budget
eliminated child-care subsidies for 14,000 children and preschool slots for 12,500 children. State aid for low-
income seniors and the disabled is now as low as it was in 1983; welfare checks are smaller than they were 25
years ago. And K-12 spending per pupil remains $1,000 less than it was five years ago. California now spends
less per student than all but three states."[34]
The Marin Independent Journal:"Passage of Proposition 30 would protect public schools and our
children's educational foundation and opportunities from being slashed."[35]
The Merced Sun-Star:"Some entities, notably the California School Boards Association, recommends a 'yes'
vote on both measures. We think it's more likely voters will support only one, and we think that Proposition 30 is
preferable of the two."[36]
The Modesto Bee:[37]
The Redding Record Searchlight:"The truth is there's not enough money for the state to do everything its
citizens demand. The state frankly overspent straight through the Schwarzenegger administration, even in good
years, and now we're at a moment of truth."[38]
The Sacramento Bee: "Gov. Jerry Brown's initiative to raise taxes by $6 billion a year is vital to California's
future on many different levels."[39]
The San Bernardino Sun:"California already ranks among the lowest in per-pupil spending. The state's
largest school district, Los Angeles Unified, already has the shortest school year in the nation. There's too
much at stake to oppose this measure on principle." [40]
The San Francisco Bay Guardian:"And in a state with more billionaires than any other place in America, a
fabulously rich place with the world's eighth-largest economy, the notion that we have to argue about raising $6
billion in taxes is farcical."[41]
The San Francisco Chronicle: "The governor and the ruling Democrats in the Legislature have given
Californians who care about schools and the current-year deficit only one real choice: support Prop. 30, whichwould raise taxes on incomes starting at $250,000 for individuals, $500,000 for married couples, and the state
portion of the sales tax (now 7.25 percent) by a quarter cent ... Prop. 30 provides a necessary budget patch -
especially with the Legislature's Republicans unwilling to consider any tax increases." [42]
The San Gabriel Valley Tribune:"The overall tax burden will still be lower than it was two years ago."[43]
The San Jose Mercury News: "Proposition 30 is no substitute for long-term reforms in education funding,
pensions and other areas, but it is a measured and sensible response to this crisis." [44]
The Santa Cruz Sentinel:"Critics of the measure say the governor won't dare administer such cuts. So far,
however, we're unaware of any alternative plan for making up the $6 billion."[45]
The Vallejo Times-Herald:"Proposition 30 is no substitute for long-term reforms in education funding,
pensions and other areas, but it is a measured and sensible response to this crisis." [46]The Ventura County Star: "It is a reasonable, well-thought-out approach to an interim fix for the state's
recurring deficit, thus giving lawmakers time to seek a long-term solution."[47]
The Bakersfield Californian:"As desperate as the state is for money, we oppose Prop. 30 because it
promotes the same bad budgeting policies that pushed the state into the mess it's in today." [48]

9/14
The Contra Costa Times:"Proposition 30 is like taking an Alka-Seltzer for your aching head when you need
brain surgery. Sure, the pain might lessen for a while, but the root cause remains. Proposition 30 is not so
much a solution as it is a cynical political calculation meant to determine just how much the voters will tolerate.
And those voters have had to tolerate a lot recently. While claiming poverty, the Legislature and Gov. Jerry
Brown forged ahead with the ill-advised and costly high-speed rail boondoggle."[49]
The North County Times:"The utter failure of Brown to fulfill his primary campaign promise and institute
some kind of meaningful public pension reform means that any money raised from Prop. 30 is simply going to
feed the beast. For voters to approve Prop. 30 at this time, when no real reform has been passed, would be to
reward Sacramento's wasteful, irresponsible behavior."[50]
The Orange County Register: "The tax-and-spend culture in Sacramento needs a complete overhaul. Voters
might be agreeable to paying more if they saw true reform, such as freeing families from underperforming
public schools with tuition vouchers or enough charter schools to meet demand. Maybe if there were genuine
reform to public-sector pensions. Or, if meaningful reform in providing public services could be achieved, rather
than merely promised, or, if new spending meant equal reductions in old spending, perhaps voters would have
reason to give more. We don't see these reforms ahead. As always, instead, we hear pleas to increase taxes
for a broken system those in charge refuse to fix."[51]
The Press-Enterprise:"California would be foolish to raise taxes without providing real and enduring solutions
to the states chronic budget shortfalls. Yet Props. 30 and 38 would increase taxes on Californians without
putting state finances on a sustainable course. Voters should demand a comprehensive fix to the state s yearly
budget turmoil, and reject the flawed half-measures offered by Props. 30 and 38." [52]
The San Diego Union-Tribune: "California voters have a crucial choice this November. On Propositions 30and 38, they can vote for higher taxes and accept the premise that this wont hurt the struggling economy and
that the main problem with our already-high-tax state is that its government doesnt get enough money from its
residents. Or they can vote no and force change in our broken status quo, starting with the public schools that
eat up by far the biggest chunk of the state budget."[53]
The Victorville Daily Press:"Proposition 30 on November's ballot would raise money by increasing the
California sales tax by a quarter cent. That doesn't sound like much, until you recall that Californias sales tax
rate is already the highest in the United States. Couple that with the fact that the Congressional Budget Office
says median U.S. family income has declined more than $4,000 a year since the advent of Obama nearly four
years ago, and its easy to understand why none of us needs the additional burden. Gov. Jerry Brown argues
that the money will go to Californias public schools, but thats dishonest at best. He wants you to believe that
when he says schools he means students. He doesnt; he means teachers benefits, mostly pensions."[54]

A USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll was conducted from March 14-19, 2012.[55] A PPIC poll was conducted
in early April.[56] PPIC also conducted a poll from May 14-20. [57]
A Field Poll conducted in late May indicated declining support.[58] The Sacramento Beedescribed the results of
that poll as "public support for Gov. Jerry Brown's effort to raise taxes hangs precariously above 50 percent, with
confidence in Brown slipping."[59]
In August, a poll released Wednesday by the Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE)/USC Rossier
School of Education indicated 55% support for Proposition 30. [60]

Karen Getman and Thomas A. Willis submitted a letter requesting a ballot title on March 14,
2012.
A ballot title and summary was expected by May 3, 2012. However, the Office of the
Attorney General produced the ballot title and summary just two days after proponents filed
the language for the initiative, on March 16, 2012.
807,615 valid signatures were required for qualification purposes.
The 150-day circulation deadline for #12-0009 was August 13, 2012.
Signatures to qualify the measure for the ballot were filed on May 4.[61]
On June 20, the California Secretary of State announced that the initiative had qualified for the November 6,
2012 ballot.[1]

According to Joe Mathews ofProp Zero, the initiative faced an uphill climb to get the signatures it needed to
qualify for the November ballot.[3] He says:
"The reasons are technical and complicated, but here is a brief summary. The key date to keep in
mind is June 28. That's the final day -- 131 days before the election -- for the California Secretary of
State to determine whether an initiative has qualified for the ballot. That date is a little more than 3
months away. But the full process takes well more than that. And the reviews and signature
gathering need to be completed by early May for the measure to have a real chance.

That will be extremely difficult. Once the initiative is filed, the department of finance and the
Legislative Analyst's Office have 25 days to prepare a fiscal impact statement. The attorney general
has another 15 days to prepare the title and summary.
Even if the full 40 days aren't required and this politically sensitive measure is fast-tracked, it should
be mid-April, at best, by the time this measure hits the streets.
Practically, that could leave less than 3 weeks to collect signatures. Why? Because the signatures
must be verified. Counties are supposed to conduct a raw count of the signatures that are turned in
by May 2; and by May 11, the Secretary of State must receive those raw counts from the counties
and decide whether there are more than enough signatures to qualify."
The San Francisco Chronicle reported on March 17 that it might cost as much as $7 million to qualify the measure
for the ballot. The reason for this is that signature-gatherers were considered likely to charge much more per
signature than they normally would, because of the intense time constraints. The paper also reported that it would
be the backers of the Millionaire's Tax who would underwrite the expensive signature-gathering effort, while Jerry
Brown was expected to sit on his campaign warchest in case the expedited signature-gathering effort for the
merger initiative failed:
"Who's going to be raising all this money? Apparently Assembly Speaker John Prez, SenatePresident Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg and their new partners from the former millionaires tax
campaign (namely the California Federation of Teachers and the Courage Campaign). We hear the
governor will reserve his war chest for his original tax plan - just in case the new, compromise
measure can't get on the ballot."[62]
In early April, it was reported that signature-gatherers were being offered $3.00 per signature. [63]
Supporters of Proposition 30 resorted to the use of direct mail to obtain signatures on the petition. According to
columnist George Skelton, in so doing, they were taking a page from "the longtime GOP strategy of mailing ballot-
measure petitions directly to voters for their signatures." Recipients of the direct mail package also received a
follow-up robocall, asking them to sign and return the petition.[64]
According to Gale Kaufman, "Given the time frame, it seemed a combo of traditional signature-gathering and
some mail would give us the quickest and best opportunity to collect signatures." [64]
