CA's funding for schools, in a major national report, is ranked at 47th of the 50 states in cost-of-living weighted dollars. That is a disgrace! There is always some reason why more revenue has to wait for something, anything to happen first. This is the "Wimpy" strategy, from the Wimpy character in Popeye cartoons: "Ill gladly pay you tomorrow for a hamburger today." The kids in school are here today, everyday and cannot wait for some endless list of demands to be met by those protecting the 1%. The kids need the funding now and into the future. It is thier future after all. Support the Millionaires Tax. It's time everyone paid their fair share. You had better check your facts on the CFT being “mostly community college teachers.”
