Ronald Reagan supports it, Bob Moretti opposes, with a televised debate recorded October 29 for statewide airing.
The California Teachers Association head files suit alleging misuse of state funds tied to the tax limitation ballot measure. Critics question motives, noting public officials' use of tax dollars for political aims and campaigns, especially school officials backing local tax overrides and bonds.
