Pass or fail, Prop 30 remains to be costly

By Sage Curtis @sagedanielle

Whether it is passed or not, Cali- fornia’s Proposition 30 would im- pact tuition, fees and academics for SJSU students, faculty and staff. Proposition 30 is on November’s ballot and would raise individual taxes one percentage point, from 9.3 percent to 10.3 percent, for peo- ple who make more than $250,000 a year for the next seven years. Additionally, Prop 30 would raise tax, which varies by city, by ¼ cent for the next four years, according to information on the measure provided by the SJSU Pub- lic Affairs office.
