George Skelton: Propositions 28 and 31 are the easiest 'yes' votes on the California ballot. They both benefit kids

Proposition 28 would guarantee lots more funding for music and arts in public schools — and without a tax increase. There'd finally be a safety net for the programs that principals usually cut first when there's a money squeeze.
