Voters reject Prop. 92


Feb.6--In a major upset for California's community colleges and their budgets, Prop. 92 failed to gain approval in Tuesday's presidential primary election.

As of 10 a.m., the initiative that aimed to fix per-unit fees at $15 and separate funding from K-12 schools into its own category, came in short with about 42.6 percent of the "Yes" votes, with about 57.4 percent against it.

"We're still the only segment of education without a separate funding source. This is unfortunate," said Dr. Desmond O'Neill, Board of Trustees president. "I guess we need to work harder on our bond measure."
