An estimated $2 billion would be stripped from California public schools if the tax extensions championed by Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday during his State of the State address are not approved by California voters.
Brown has proposed a five-year extension of the income and sales taxes and vehicle license fees that were authorized by state lawmakers on a tentative basis in 2009.
