Nov. 5 (Bloomberg) -- California’s Proposition 30, whichwould raise sales and income taxes, is sinking fast in thepolls. Voters are realizing that the measure -- the heart andsoul of Governor Jerry Brown’s plan to “save” California -- isjust another cynically devised and promoted way to prop up thestatus quo.
The measure is slightly ahead, but dropping below thecritical 50 percent mark, which is a trouble sign as ElectionDay approaches. Californians tend to vote for politicians whowant to raise taxes, but are more conservative when it comes todirect tax increases.
