No to Proposition 23
One of the most hotly-contested items on this year’s ballot, one that we all need to pay attention to is Proposition 23. Masquerading as a "jobs initiative," this measure would effectively repeal California’s clean energy and clean air standards.
Four years ago, California put into place the nation’s first policies to spur the development of clean energy and reduce greenhouse gases. These policies have been the catalyst for the creation of more than 500,000 jobs, 12,000 businesses, and for attracting more than $10 billion in venture capital — five times more than any other state.
