Beyond Chron is San Francisco's alternative online daily newspaper. They focus their articles on political, social, and economic critiques based on the San Francisco Chronicle. In this article Lisa Schiff, a parent of two and a member of Parents for Public Schools in San Francisco, goes over the various aspects of proposition 30 and 38 and the benefits the two can offer if passed. This article is going out to all parents of children in the public education system and any involved in community colleges, as well as any family considered to be in the middle class. "Of the new revenue, 11% will go to Community College needs and 89% will go to K-12 needs and at a minimum the funds will result in an additional $200 per K-12 pupil and $100 for each full-time community college student" (Schiff). This shows how parents feel about both proposition 30 and 38 and how the fight for education is being advertised, using the titles of the propositions: "The Schools and Local Public Safety Protection Act of 2012," for Proposition 30 and "Our children, Our Future," for Proposition 38. Lisa rationalizes with the lower income families about the tax increases for both propositions and how they are the only option for those who want education to succeed.

Ballotpedia is a free, collaborative, online encyclopedia about state politics, including elections, congress, state executive officials, state legislatures, recall elections and ballot measures. InfoWorld has called Ballotpedia one of the "Top 20 Election Day Web sites and online tools"(Raphael JR, InfoWorld). In this article Ballotpedia goes over Proposition 30 including : The measures involved in the passing of the prop, the summary of the ballot, constitutional changes and the arguments, donors and support for and against the proposition. Being an encyclopedia site, they go over the existing California tax policies along with polling information. The article is meant for those that seek factual information on the Proposition, from what it does to who supports it. "Creates four high-income tax brackets for taxpayers with tacable incomes exceeding $250,000, $300,000, $500,000 and $1,000,000. This incread tax will be in effect for 7 years" (Ballotpedia). In comparison to School Beat: California Competing Tax Measures, this piece will give non-bias information regarding what people are actually voting for and a more of a long term look at the impacts of this proposition.
