Proposition 30 Governor Jerry Brown kicked off a tour of California's state universities Tuesday to drum up last-minute support of his initiative to increase taxes on sales and incomes.  Proposition 30 would boost income to schools by raising the state's sales tax ¼ cent for four years and increasing income taxes on people making more than $250,000 annually for seven years. We'll speak with Hope Richarson, a policy analyst from the California Budget Project, about the financial impact Proposition 30 will have , and what will happen to education if it fails.  We'll also speak with Capital Public Radio's Capitol Bureau Chief Ben Adler about Brown's final push to pass Proposition 30.  Insight will be focusing on one of California's 11 ballot measures each day as the election approaches.  Tune in Thursday for analysis of Proposition 31, which would change the state's legislative budget cycle.
