Letters: State should protect science with reliable funding
Briefly

The Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program supports careers in the public sector, addressing student debt concerns. Current funding cuts threaten financial aid, exacerbating the challenges low- and middle-income students face. Reforming Proposition 13 could generate $12 billion annually for public schools, creating sustainable revenue sources. Furthermore, state laws limiting local control over development harm neighborhoods by prioritizing housing over community business spaces, hindering the quality of life and economic stability for residents.
The Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program has incentivised careers in the public sector, including work in hospitals, schools, local governments and nonprofits.
These actions are under a facade of safety, but in reality, they are part of a larger pattern of political attacks on health care and basic human services.
To protect California students from these political attacks, we need to reform Proposition 13. Doing so could generate as much as $12 billion yearly for public schools.
This state law is harming Sunnyvale residents, not helping them. These harsh requirements may increase housing, but in many cases, it is at the expense of preserving neighborhoods.
