Twelve propositions that passed on California’s ballot for 2016 included legislation on education, plastic bags, marijuana, tobacco, criminal justice and taxation.
Among the propositions to be voted on the Nov. 8 ballot is Proposition 58, an initiative to allow bilingual education in public schools, which could capitalize on the academic benefits of learning two languages.
An informal Campus Times poll this month found that only two of 22 students surveyed on the University of La Verne campus voted in the recent California primary election.
Mirroring the reluctant support voiced by politicians and newspaper editorials, voters throughout the state on Super Tuesday lent their support to the propositions Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared will save California.
Even with the passage of Propositions 57 and 58, which Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said are necessary for him to balance the budget, student grants for college face a grim future.
