Another Plan to Fund Education
Senator Bob Huff has proposed some new ideas to fund California schools that don't involve egregious tax hikes. However, will they be implemented?
Senate Republican Leader Bob Huff (R-Diamond Bar) outlines a new budget plan endorsed by Senate and Assembly Republicans that saves education from devastating budget cuts, without burdensome tax hikes on California families.
According to Huff, Governor Jerry Brown and the Democrats have given Californians just two options: raise taxes, or see education funding cut to the bone. However, Huff has proposed another option.
In this video, Huff puts down a roadmap for Brown and the Democrats to follow that will fully fund education, pay off state debt and won’t result in higher taxes.
