The No on Prop 30 campaign has released its first video against the governor’s initiative to raise taxes and the ad criticizes Brown and the Legislature for various events over the summer, including approval of high-speed rail and a state parks scandal. These examples are used to argue that the state is a poor fiscal steward of the funds that it already has and that voters cannot trust legislators with even more tax money. View the video here:

The Bee notes that “The No on 30 campaign has had little money so far to get its message out, reporting raising just $10,000 in the first half of the year. The campaign announced today that it had received a $100,000 donation from John Cox, a businessman and former Chicago-area Republican official who ran for president in 2008 before abandoning his long-shot candidacy.”
