“Temporary Taxes To Fund Education. Guaranteed Local Public Safety Funding." League of Women Voters of California, n.d. Web. 22 Sept. 2012. <http://cavotes.org/vote/election /2012/november/6/ballot-measure/temporary-taxes-fund-education-guaranteed-local-public-safety-funding>.

The article published by the League of Women Voters of California discusses the pros and cons of Proposition 30. The article discusses the pros and cons of Proposition 30 and whether the California Constitution should be amended. After the article provided a summary of the Proposition, it showed what passing the proposition would do for schools as well as the affect it would have on taxpayers. The article also showed the negative aspects of Proposition 30 like an increase in sales and income tax as well as no assurance that the money will be spent in the classroom. This source seems quite unbiased since it does show the pros and cons. However, the League of Women Voters of California recommends supporting Proposition 30.
