But unlike the Public Policy Institute of California’s survey showing that most voters oppose Proposition 38, the Editorial Board is unanimous in its support for that initiative, which would raise income taxes across the board to support public schools and preschools.
During a discussion about the two measures, those opposed to Proposition 30 said it came down to a matter of trust.
