Proposition 24
|
|
California State PTA supports Proposition 24 to repeal three corporate tax reductions struck in the 2008 and 2009 budget agreements.
- When fully implemented, these reductions would cost the state an estimated $1.3 billion a year.
- Most of the benefit of these tax cuts would go to a small number of very large corporations.
- PTA believes that this is not the time to give tax breaks to corporations, when our schools have faced over $17 billion in cuts in the previous two years and we have seen devastating cuts to critical health and social services.
