My main point in bringing up Proposition 13, however, is that loss of tax revenues started a rapid decline in the quality of California's schools.

A favorite tact of Govt is to always place the wants as a priority on the budget and cut the needs when the tax payers balk at coughing up their hard earned coin.

Cal. didn't have to cut off the schools, but in order to prove to the citizens that it was not a nice thing passing that prop 13 the state made them pay.
Look at the other things that went begging, Emergency services for one.

THe state of Wa is no better when it comes to this kind of tactic.
