6. What Prop 30 has Accomplished Helped to restore some of the $56 billion education lost in the recession, and to hire more teachers and classified staff, purchase textbooks and supplies, expand libraries, and improve our community colleges $24 billion in revenue… and counting Helped stabilize California’s budget Prevented $6 billion in cuts in 2013 alone Prevented further cuts to services for seniors, low-income children, and vital health care programs

7. Children’s Education and Health Care Protection Act  Temporarily extends the income tax rates created under Prop 30 for 12 years.  Does not extend the original Prop 30 sales tax provisions.  Revenues will continue to be deposited into the Education Protection Account Raises an estimated $8-11 billion each year Applies to couples earning over $500,000 or more a year The tax extension will only impact the top 2% of earners in California

8. Children’s Education and Health Care Protection Act (Continued)  The revenue will be subject to the provisions of Proposition 2 – The Rainy Day Fund. An extension will mean more funds to increase our reserves for when California needs them most.  Up to $2 billion in funds per year will also be used to invest in health care for low income children and their families. By increasing funding for state health care programs we can continue to allow for improved access and care.  Continues tough audit and disclosure requirements with accountability through www.trackprop30.ca.gov, which allows the public to see how every dollar of these funds have been spent.www.trackprop30.ca.gov
