Annotated Bibliographies

Skelton, George. "CAPITOL JOURNAL; Taxes just Part of Picture; Voter Perceptions and Pensions also Tie into Brown's Push for Prop. 30." Los Angeles Times: 2. Aug 30 2012. National Newspapers Core. Web. 25 Sep. 2012

I like this article because it takes a critical look at governor Brown's proposed tax increase. It gives information showing that there is more to the proposition than just the schools. Also, that Californians are having trouble trusting the government with their tax dollars. All though the author is critical, he seems to make reasonable claims. He does not seem like he is completely biased against the governor.


Rivera, Carla. "CALIFORNIA; CSU OKs a what-if Tuition Hike; the Increase would Take Effect if State Voters Reject the Prop. 30 Tax Measure." Los Angeles Times: 3. Sep 20 2012. National Newspapers Core. Web. 25 Sep. 2012 

This is a good article because it shows what will happen if Prop 30 is not passed. It gives perspective on potential consequences of not voting for it. This can be useful if I decide to argue in support of the bill. It gives concrete evidence which is good for arguments using logos.

York, Anthony. "A Tax Plan's Strange Bedfellows; Brown Dropped some Ideas Voters Prefer in Order to Gain Business' Support for Prop. 30." Los Angeles Times: 1. Aug 27 2012. National Newspapers Core. Web. 25 Sep. 2012

This article was interesting because it showed who Brown was getting to support him. It may not have a lot of useful information on the proposition itself,  but it shows that there is support for the bill from unlikely sources.
