Well, the clock is ticking. 60 days until the november election. Governor brown is fighting off a push from neil kashkari. In tonights reality check, sam brock breaks down the fact and fiction of what was discussed at the debate. Good evening. Last nights debate saw plenty of claims flying back and fort between the two candidates for governor. Were they fact or fluff . Lets start with Governor Brown who likes to pump up his role in fixing the budget e. From 27 billion in the red is now a surplus. The governors claim of a Budget Surplus is true, according to the l. A. O. Which says that we have an operating surplus right now of 3. 2 billion for this fiscal year, but thats all courtesy of something called prop 30. Its a tax, which im sure you remember. You the voters okayed it back in 2012. Without prop 30, wed actually have a deficit right now of 4 billion. Theres also the issue of longterm debt, things we owe money for like state pensions and school bonds that sits at an estimated 300 billion. The governors climb is true but with plenty of caveats. Now to kashkari. Hes declared a california come back. And yet our middle class is all but destroyed. Its not that long ago that we used to have some of the best schools in america here in california. Today our schools are ranked 46 out of 50 states. He is likely citing a standardized test where california fourth graders did rank 46th in math and reading. Theres the issue of looking at other metrics, too, for example, education week. Its an independent report put out called quality counts. It found california placed 33rd. Bottom line, our schools are not performing well compared to the rest of the country, and that was kashkaris point. It is true.
