Description | Sacramento Bee.
"The political establishment is already starting to gear up for the budget-centric special election on May 19.
Here are the budget measures that will be on that ballot:
Proposition 1A: Implements a spending cap based on the rate of growth from the last 10 years. If approved, it would extend the length of the taxes approved by the Legislature.
Proposition 1B: Changes the state's education funding law -- Proposition 98 -- for supplemental education payments to local districts due to recent budget cuts.
Proposition 1C: Borrows from future lottery earnings.
Proposition 1D: Takes money from the First 5 Commissions -- aka Proposition 10 funds -- to help balance the budget.
Proposition 1E: Takes money from the Mental Health Services Act -- aka Proposition 63 funds -- to help balance the budget.
Proposition 1F: Prevents state-level elected officials from receiving pay raises in years when the state is running a deficit." |
