My biggest concern here is that, if approved, the ballot measure would open up a whole new arena of taxation. Do we really think the rapacious state machine will stop at taxing million dollar investment properties? As for the dedication of the money to education, I don't trust them not to change that, too. Also, one could make an argument that the state education apparatus has been a failure and that some fundamental reforms should precede any new infusion of cash. Only when they start the money we are already giving them wisely would I even consider giving them more.
