The “Official Voter Information Guide” for the November election recently arrived in our mailbox. After giving it the usual once-over, I was struck by the number of propositions the state’s electorate will be asked to vote on in November. However, as I read through the slate of propositions in the voter guide, what really got my attention was the money that’s involved. Thinking back to the last election cycle and remembering that the voters approved around $41 billion in new borrowing at that time, I was motivated to prepare a schedule that summarizes the spending that’s being requested in the current election. First, a brief summary: There are twelve propositions on the Ballot, the total amount of new borrowing (bonds) is $16.83 billion, the annual debt service on the proposed new bonds is $1.10 billion, and the annual cost of the various propositions, not including debt service on the bonds, is $1.18 billion. Proposition 12, the “Veterans’ Bond Act of 2008,” in the amount of $900 million, is intended to provide farm and home aid for California veterans, so the cost may be a wash because payments received on loans to the vets will probably repay the bonds. In addition, about $3.4 million of the estimated annual cost of Proposition 7, the “Renewable Energy Generation Initiative,” is expected to be paid by fees that will be charged to the utility companies. Although it appears that the ... Find more results for California Ballot on RSSMicro.com |

The California Public Utilities Commission voted unanimously Thursday to oppose Proposition 7 , the Solar and Clean Energy Act of 2008, a Ballot measure that would order California utilities to procure half of their power from renewable resources by 2025. Some California pundits also refer to Proposition as “Big Solar.” The CPUC is opposed to the measure primarily because “it would establish an excessively rigid, and potentially unworkable, structure for the further development of renewable energy in California,” the agency said in a press release. The CPUC said that the structure of the measure might in the short term hinder the state’s aggressive renewable energy goals by interfering with programs already under way.

Campaign Against Prop 8 Cautions Against Overconfidence and Prepares for Onslaught of Ads and Attempts to “Change the Conversation” By Frank D. Russo The California Field Poll has released numbers from its latest survey , and they show opposition of likely voters in November’s election to Proposition 8, which would eliminate the right of same sex couples to marry in our state, growing to 55% while support is mired at 38%. Since Field began polling on this in July, support for the Ballot proposition has declined from 42% to 38% and opposition, when read the Ballot summary, has increased from 51% to 55%. 70% of likely voters are aware of Proposition 8, according to Field, meaning they indicate they have seen, read, or heard about it. Those voters in this category are opposed 53% to 41%. In the remaining cohort of the 30% who are not aware of it, voters are opposed when read the Ballot summary, by a margin of 58% to 30%. Field tested both the original summary that appeared on petitions to qualify the measure (before the California Supreme Court found same sex marriage to be a right under the California Constitution) and the Ballot summary approved by Attorney General Jerry Brown that reflected the Supreme Court’s decision, and found little difference. A subset was asked this question based on the summary that will appear on the Ballot: “(As you know) Proposition 8 is the initiative to “Eliminate the Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry ...
By Peter Schrag Although hardly anyone's noticed, billionaire financier George Soros and some other very deep pockets are back on the California Ballot with a drug and criminal sentencing reform measure that makes their prior efforts seem modest. Given the prison mess we've locked ourselves into, Soros' proposal may be the brightest light on a bleak horizon. This one, Proposition 5, called NORA, the Nonviolent Offender Rehabilitation Act, is a monster plan designed to direct many more drug using lawbreakers to treatment and keep them out of the slammer. It puts more money into diversion and rehabilitation for both adults and youthful offenders, for whom there is now no drug treatment program at all. It's a complicated and costly plan, running to an estimated $1 billion a year. It would allocate more resources to treatment, probation and parole. But the Legislative Analyst's Office believes it could save the state as much money, especially in prison construction, as it will cost, and maybe more. The numbers are a little iffy. Nonetheless, the LAO says the program could reduce the state's adult inmate population, now roughly 171,000 prisoners, by 18,000 – at $46,000 per year apiece, that's not peanuts – and reduce the rolls of parolees by an additional 22,000. NORA is part of what's become a long procession of drug reform and criminal sentencing reforms underwritten by Soros, John Sperling, the founder of the private for-profit Univ ...
