On Tuesday, October 9, the LA County Board of Supervisors will be voting to take positions on the key statewide Propositions 30 and 32.  Community groups will present testimony to the Board on how these ballot measures would affect their organizations.
Community groups support Prop 30, the Schools & Safety Protection Act, because it is the only initiative that will protect school and safety funding and help address the state’s chronic budget mess. Governor Brown’s plan reduces the deficit while protecting essential services.
Prop 32 is not what it seems.  The Special Exemptions Act – Prop 32 is the first of a one-two punch to give even more control of government to powerful corporate special interests so they can come after our wages, benefits, and even our right to collective bargaining.  While the measure’s wealthy backers falsely claim it’s about “stopping special interests,” it’s actually designed to weaken unions and give corporate CEOs even more power to boost their profits by cutting jobs, eliminating retirement security and reducing wages.
