Prop. 90: Misleading comparisons to Oregon law
Submitted by Gary Galles on 10.23.2006
Opponents assert Proposition 90 safeguards against eminent domain abuses will decimate California's ability to “preserve and protect” wildlife, open space, the coast, farmland, etc. Then they bring in their lynchpin “proof” of its disastrous consequences – Oregon’s Proposition 37 in 2004, the first such property protection initiative to pass. They point to its “Draconian” effects, and say that even worse consequences face California.

Proposition 87, the Clean Energy Initiative, lacks assurances, details
Submitted by Gary Galles on 10.5.2006
Proposition 87, the California Clean Energy Initiative, is shaping up as the most contentious item on the November ballot. To judge whether this measure would be good public policy, voters will need detailed information. Proposition 87, however, offers "solutions" too vague for anyone to evaluate what its $4 billion will buy.
