Proposition 22 on the California ballot would prohibit the raiding of transportation funding for anything. The measure, if approved, would stop the practice of the legislature of using transportation funds (including the gasoline tax) to fund anything and everything else.
Not surprisingly, the Chamber of Commerce and California cities are generally for the measure while public employee unions oppose the measure. Cities are especially annoyed with the legislature’s annual raiding of local funding.
No matter where you stand on the measure, remember to vote on November 2nd.
