59 oppose them. Californians also think caltrans should be more efficient. Only 23 of californians think caltrans needs more money. 61 believe caltrans should make better use of the money it already has. And we asked Governor Brown about these poll results. His response . Trust me. This is the heavy lift. I know that. Im telling you, im the governor for 14 years, my father was governor for eight years, i know what im talking about. You have to pay for it with new money. Voters arent buying what Governor Brown is selling. Reporter the legislative director at the Howard Jarvis Taxpayer Association really, its a question of priorities. General funds spending in california has increased by 36 billion over the last 6 years. And yet not one penny has gone towards transportation funding. Reporter now, we havent seen the final language of the proposal but theres probably a restriction that this new tax money would have to go to transportation projects although that could include public transit

And the Asian Community center, david chan. If you could come to the microphone. Hi okay. Good evening, my name ir daphne mcnowle, and this is stacy barltlet. We are parents at Daniel Webster and petrillo hill. We are here to talk to you about supporting efforts to keep families in San Francisco. Its well documented that one of the San Franciscos greatest challenges is retaining middleclass families. The two reasons for family flight is Affordable Housing and Public Schools. I would like start by telling you the story of our school. Back in 2005 the San Francisco School District slated Daniel Webster for closure. At the time it was underenrolled and in the dire need of repair and of being isolated. A group of parents, their kids just babies, rallied the neighborhood and convinced the board of education to keep the school open. Today its a magnet for families of our attendance area.
