Harmon, Steve. "California Voters Prefer Gov. Jerry Brown's Prop. 30 Tax Measure over Molly Munger's Prop. 38, but 'prospects Are Partly Cloudy'" MercuryNews.com. N.p., 22 Aug. 2012. Web. 23 Sept. 2012. <http://www.mercurynews.com/california-budgetci_21374874/california-voters-prefer-gov-jerry-browns-tax-measure>.
An article I read from the Mercury News was written by Steve Harmon. The article, “California Voters Prefer Gov. Jerry Brown's Prop. 30 Tax Measure over Molly Munger's Prop. 38, but 'prospects Are Partly Cloudy’” was to inform the readers where both Prop. 30 and Prop. 38 stand concerning support and opposition. This article has good information about the statistics concerning who is in favor or who is not in favor of the propositions. The article had a survey that gave the author credibility. The online poll by PACE/USC Rossier School of Education, gave a useful statistic that I will use in my research paper which stated that proposition 30 “holds a 55 to 36 percent lead” where as Proposition 38 “has the support of only 40 percent of the likely voters, with 49 percent opposed.” The intended audience for this article would be any person interested in the current situation our state educational system is in and any person who is interested in voting this coming up election.

An article I read from the LA Times was written by Carla Rivera. This article is specifically about how CSUs will be affected by the outcome of Proposition 30. This article had good information about what would happen if the proposition did not pass such as “a $100 per-unit fee for students who want to repeat a class” or “a $200 per-unit fee for any course load of 17 units or more.” The author’s use of different people including students and educational professionals helped create a more credible article. I will use the information about what the students can expect if the proposition doesn’t pass. The article by Steve Harmon doesn’t include the dramatic consequences that students might face so this article will be valuable in that regard. This article will be used when I make reference to the consequences the students might face in the following school year if proposition 30 does not pass.
An article I read from the La Times was an op-Ed article favoring Prop. 30. This article had good facts about Proposition 38 that I used in my final draft paper. Also I used facts about the "trigger cuts" that it stated in the article. This article was very convincing because it used many different types of appeals to persuade the reader that Proposition 30 should pass. Different from the other articles, this one had a persuasive tone to it in which the others were mainly for information. The audience this article is directed at are people who read the La Times, voters, or anyone interested in current educational issues.
