Vote YES on Props. 1A–1E
Infrastructure Bonds
This public works package provides $37 billion in education, transportation, housing and flood prevention bonds. Prop. 1D, the school bond, will provide $10.4 billion for school construction. It targets money to schools that need it the most, provides funds to build career educational schools, and provides more than $3 billion to community colleges, UC and CSU campuses. For information, visit www.plan4ourfuture.org
Vote NO on Prop. 85
Parental Notification
This constitutional amendment requiring parental notification before a minor has an abortion puts the health and safety of teenagers at risk. Doctors, pediatricians and nurses, including the California Medical Association and the California Nurses Association, oppose Prop. 85 because of the health risks it poses for teenage girls. For information, visit www.noon85.com
NEUTRAL on Prop. 88
Parcel tax Initiative
This initiative is poorly written and does not provide a long-term funding solution for our schools. It may even impair CTA’s future efforts to find a real solution. The funding generated by the parcel tax would be far below what is needed by schools. CTA cannot support Prop. 88 and has taken a neutral position.
Vote NO on Prop. 89
Public Campaign Financing
This poorly crafted initiative has many unintended consequences. It would create an uneven playing field, placing strict limits on small businesses, labor unions and nonprofit organizations, while doing nothing to stop rich individuals from bankrolling their own campaigns. It would severely limit CTA’s ability to influence political issues that directly affect teachers. For information, visit www.noprop89.org
