The Mercury News article regarding school closures in California has been criticized for missing crucial information about the salaries of the leaders of local schools and administrators at the district office, as well as the $1.2 billion bond approved to renovate campuses. This raises questions about whether the district is planning to close up to nine schools after voters approved a $1.,000 billion bond for renovations. The debate about school closures should be informed about these expenditures, particularly if they affect the closures. Some suggest that if Democrats want to control the cost of living in California, they should suggest that all of the estimated 200+ billionaires who live in California donate up to 60% of their net income to the University of California system to fund research, which can be deducted from their federal tax burden in a given year. Road safety is also a priority, with motorists urged to prioritise highway maintenance and inspections on busy freeways. The article also mentions a potential change in ranked-choice voting, suggesting that the state should return to the Republican-controlled Open Primaries measure, which passed in 2010 with 53.5% of the vote.
