Davis, Brulte show students how budget is (un)balanced
Naush Boghossian, LA Daily News
NORTH HOLLYWOOD - If it was up to North Hollywood High's AP Government students to draft the state budget, they'd increase education spending by $2.5 billion, keep college tuition at current levels, retain the "three strikes" law and add $2.60 a pack to the cigarette tax. They'd also leave the state with a $2 billion deficit.

North Hollywood Students Get a Fiscal Schooling
Michelle Keller, Los Angeles Times
Sitting in a classroom at North Hollywood High School on Monday, senior Lacey Padgett thought taxing the rich to balance California's budget sounded like a fine idea.
But then former Republican state Senate leader Jim Brulte pointed out that celebrities including Tiger Woods and Serena and Venus Williams have relocated to Florida, where state income taxes are nonexistent. Padgett said the comment gave her pause.
"He almost made me change my mind," said the smiling 18-year-old, as she swept back her blond hair.
The learning moment came during a tutorial to North Hollywood High's Advanced Placement government class presented by Next 10, a Palo Alto-based nonprofit, whose mission is to illuminate Californians on the complexities of the state budgeting process.

Alumnos de North Hollywood discuten presupuesto estatal
Róger Lindo, La Opinión
No todos los días se puede contar en una clase sobre presupuesto de una secundaria pública con figuras de la talla del ex gobernador de California Gray Davis para abordar el caso hipotético -pero muy cercano a la realidad- de un impuesto vehicular, o del ex senador estatal republicano Jim Brulte para explicar que la idea de gravar a los ricos del estado termina por ahuyentarlos.

The pop quiz starts now
Steve Scauzillo, sgvtribune.com
Noel Perry is not into torture. He doesn't believe in the pop quiz as a way to embarrass busy Californians regarding their paltry knowledge of state spending.
"Did you know that only 11 percent of Californians knew that education was the No. 1 budget item?" he told me Friday during a phone interview he gave from his Bay Area office.
No, though I never met him, Perry seems to have loftier goals. The Bay Area venture capitalist wants to educate Californians so they can participate in civic discussions, maybe even vote with a better set of facts at their disposal. That's why he created the California Budget Quiz and the California Budget Challenge and put both on his Web site, www.nextten.org.
