A panel discussion of propositions 30 and 38 hosted by the Sonoma County Office of Education and United Way of the Wine Country is scheduled for Oct. 4.
The two propositions, one backed by Gov. Jerry Brown and the other by lawyer Molly Munger, would increase taxes to support public education.
Margaret Weston, a fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California and Edgar Cabral, an analyst with the California Legislative Analyst’s Office will offer an overview of each proposition and how they affect each other. A question and answer session with the audience will follow.
The forum is scheduled for 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 4 at the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts. The event is free but those planning to attend are asked to RSVP to rzamudio@sonomacf.org by Oct. 1.

Save California for our children. Vote No on Prop 30, 38, 32. Keep the California dream alive.
The choices we Californians make on Nov 6 will determine California’s course for years. We are kidding ourselves by believing that education funding shortfalls disappear with Prop 30, Prop 38.
Prop 30, Prop 38 both levy significant taxes on each one of us. The wounds that Prop 30, 38 are to heal have been self inflicted largely by our elected Sacramento politicians who simply do not say no to any influential interest group be they, University of California (29% increase in salaries last 6 years), public employees, business, teachers, or other unions or lobbyists.
And now Prop 30, 38 are used by Sacramento politicians and lobbyists to blackmail us.
