Prop 13 set a mandatory two thirds vote to increase taxes or pass bonds. But S.V business became a primary mover in the form of funding to exempt any bonds for schools "community colleges included" form such two thirds and lowered the needed vote to fifty five percent. "Prop 39" Fully some 85% of the moneys used in the campaign for passage of Prop 39 some 30 million came in the form of 100k dollar contributions. It was in no way a grass roots campaign. What makes you so sure prop 39 was not a grass roots campaign. Maybe it was something that had SV business AND SV workers behind it. I agree the prop 13 people weren't behind it, but they are the reason the community colleges are such a disgrace today. This state is not run by prop 13 freeloaders- they are a force, and that is all. If prop 39 were a true travesty I can assure you it would not have passed. SV business needs quality community colleges for a number of reasons but one that is of key importance is ESL (English as a second language) courses. This and other retraining programs. The local workforce wants good schools here.
