What happened
California voters permanently extended an income tax on the wealthy through Prop. 3, which passed with 59% of the vote compared to 41% against. This measure makes the tax permanent to fund K-12 schools and other services. The tax, which previously generated between $5 billion and $15 billion annually, was renewed to prevent deep budget cuts in schools starting in 2031.

Why it matters
The extension secures a significant and stable revenue stream for public education in California. This funding, which accounts for up to 15% of schools' overall revenue, ensures financial stability for K-12 institutions.
