  • OPPOSE Proposition 91 on the February 2008 ballot
    Prop 91, on California's February 2008 ballot, has been an increasing source of confusion as election time approaches. Prop 91 would further restrict the ability to shift Prop 42 funds (gas sales tax revenue) from transportation purposes to the General Fund, which might seem like a good thing. However, Proposition 1A, adopted in November 2006 with approval from more than 75% of voters, already does that quite well. Even the original backers of Prop 91 no longer support it, as they helped forge the compromise that became Prop 1A. Prop 91 really ended up on the ballot almost by accident. But despite its "accidental" origins, Prop 91 is already qualified for the 2008 ballot, so it will go to the voters, even though many of its original supporters are likely to oppose it. Finally, an important fault of Prop 91 to keep in mind is that it would not protect the Spillover or any of the other Public Transportation Account funds that were redirected in this year's budget.
