The State of California is enjoying record high revenues.

Revenues have increased by $66 billion since 2007-08.

$55 billion of that new revenue is sitting in the High Speed Rail Account.

The California Constitution mandates that the number one priority for spending tax dollars is public education. It is the State of California's obligation to fund K-12 Public schools with sufficient funding to provide every student with opportunity to obtain High Quality Staff- Beneficial Teacher/Pupil Ratios- Program Expansion and Variety- Modern Equipment and Materials and High Quality Buildings.

Instead, Sacramento is taking tax dollars away from Prop 98 minimum guarantee and forcing school districts to spend tax dollars on Green Energy Projects rather than on facilities maintenance and in the classroom. California Public Schools are on the verge of bankruptcy and their facilities have not been fixed or maintained for so long that they threaten the health and safety of students and staff. California taxpayers now understand that one of the major causes for all of the recent wildfires is the lack of infrastructure spending on 100 + year old power lines and towers. Instead, Sacramento forced power companies to spend money on renewable energy projects.

Sacramento has done the same thing to Public education. Prop 39 is one example.
