"If Prop. 30 fails, it shouldn't have any impact on local schools or colleges, because there's no new money in Prop. 30 for any of that."LaVista, the Los Angeles Community College District chancellor, said a failure of the measure could be catastrophic.
"If it fails," LaVista said of Prop. 30, "the broadest stroke I could take would be to curtail services ... The effect is, students prepared for the workforce, or to get a degree - all these things are being challenged in a serious way."
