Looking at the Whole Story in Quest for School Taxes | Consumer Alliance for a Strong Economy

The new Public Policy Institute of California Poll confirmed what I have noted here and elsewhere: that the Proposition 30 tax extension starts with an advantage and has a decent chance of passing.

One reason for this, according to a question asked by the pollsters, is that likely voters (by 60%) think that schools need more money. Of course, these are the same voters who when tested in previous PPIC polls incorrectly claimed that schools are not the top funding priority of the state budget, but that prisons are.
