Because it isn't just an issue of the schools getting money, the issue is that Prop 13 requires a 2/3 majority which is much more than a majority to raise taxes, and the local residents feel they are dogged by the ghosts of prop 13 from 25 years ago and we have no control. Why should ONE long time resident be able to override 2 of my newer resident tech worker votes on tax issues. I should say this applies to any issue too. One person, one vote doesn't that make sense? Whoever has the majority, wins. Business usually opposes taxes and yet in this state, business wants tax laws overturned. The reason is because the tech workforce is marginalized by these tax laws.
