HUNDREDS OF U.C.S.C STUDENTS PACKED THE QUAD AREA FRIDAY MORNING. GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN SPOKE OUT ABOUT HIS PLAN TO HELP K THROUGH 12 SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES AVOID BILLIONS IN CUTS NEXT YEAR. IF PROPOSITION 30 PASSES IT WOULD MEAN AN INCREASE IN TAX REVENUES OF APPROXIMATELY 6 BILLION DOLLARS. BROWN HAS GONE ON RECORD SAYING THAT A “FAILURE AT THE POLLS” WOULD TRIGGER 5.5 BILLION IN CUTS, MOST OF WHICH WOULD AFFECT K-12 EDUCATION AND UNIVERSITIES.
