California voters approved Proposition 30, a temporary tax increase to raise $6 billion annually for public schools and universities. The measure increases sales tax and income taxes for high earners. This decision comes amid California's budget crises affecting education. The approval prevents further cuts in education and allows for expansion in community colleges. Democrats gained supermajority control in the State Legislature, enabling tax increases without Republican support. Governor Jerry Brown promises fiscal restraint despite the new power.
