#California #Educators cry foul and call #Democrat Darling Gov's sneaky $12 Billion end run cut around #Prop98 #Unconstitutional.

As #TaxCollection #deficit hits his once flush state coffers, #Newsom goes from rosy bragging of Covid era #BudgetSurplus , to looking at #Edu funding obligations as albatross.

Luv Guv now claims K-12 #schools & #communitycolleges were given too much money last year, and wants to give #teachers billions le$$, redefining much of their previous #budget allotment as a #PrePayment and threatening intent of #VoterApproved 1998 formulas guaranteeing schools at least the same annual budget every year, not less.
