This аssignment pulls tоgether sоme оf the things we hаve leаrned and practiced throughout the course. We address two important questions in this exercise: What do you want your state government to do with your tax dollars? How can you let your state representatives know that? Each year the Governor proposes, and the state legislature passes, California's statewide budget. This budget funds everything from the community college you are currently attending to the state prisons you hope to avoid. California is required to pass a balanced budget--the revenue you bring in through taxes has to match or exceed the money you spend on public goods and services (though there is a way to kind of kick the can down the road in times of crisis). GET INFORMED: Go to the California Budget Challenge page and click "Take the Challenge." Read the introduction, which explains the current budget situation in California. After you click "Start Now" you can click "Skip" when you see the page on Budget Reserves and Resiliency. 1. Start the Budget Challenge by looking at Spending (click on the gray bar on the left hand side). Find ONE budget item related to education (you should look through the categories K-12, Early Childhood, Community Colleges, or UC/CSUs on the left) that you think is particularly important to fund within the budget (listed as Spend X billion/Status quo/no budget change) OR that you think should be cut from the budget (Cut X billion). To choose your item, spend time reading the Pros and Cons of each. Cut and paste the description of that budget item [Make sure this is in quotation marks to avoid the Canvas plagiarism detector] In your own words write 5-6 complete, grammatically correct sentences explaining why you chose that item, making sure to specifically reference the stated Pros/Cons and to explain which groups you think this budget item might impact. 2. Now click on the tab that says "Revenue" (gray bar on the left hand side) and choose the Income Tax. The California economy is weaker than in years past and we are currently in a budget deficit year, meaning that in order to maintain status quo levels of educational spending we would need to raise more revenue. Of the list of proposed income tax changes, are there any you would support to raise more revenue for education? In your own words, write 5-6 complete, grammatically correct sentences explaining why or why not, specifically mentioning the tax change you would/would not support. (Note: Capital gains taxes are taxes on profits from investments, distinct from taxes on wages or salaries.) PLAN TO ACT: 3. Find Your California Representatives in the California Legislature. Write down the names of both your State Senator and your State Assemblymember. Write 2-3 sentence phone script that you could use to tell them what you think our priorities should be related to education. What kinds of things do you think are the most important to fund? The process is just like calling Congress--refer back to the How to Call Your Representative page for a refresher on how it works -- so make sure your script reflects what you learned about how to make those kinds of calls. OPTIONAL CIVIC ACTIVITY: This is certainly not required, but I encourage you to try it! If you do, send me an email to let me know how it went. a) Call your state reps and try out your script! OR b) Send an email to your state representatives sharing your opinions about education
