The state’s continuous spending spiral has been unchecked for far too long, jeopardizing future economic growth and stifling innovation. Californians have been left with fewer of their hard earned dollars to spend as they hoose. If left unchecked, this trend poses a grave threat to the state’s future.
According to the state Senate’s Guide to Laws on Official Conduct for Legislators and Legislative Staff, California law prohibits the use of public funds or resources to advocate the passage or defeat of a ballot initiative. At a recent hearing on Proposition 75, the paycheck protection initiative, Senator Alarcon totally disregarded that prohibition.
On November 8, California voters will decide the fate of Proposition 76, the “Live Within Our Means” Act. The initiative promises to live up to its title by restricting state spending and fixing California’s lingering fiscal problems.
