Statewide Measures

There were two propositions on the statewide ballot June 6th, assigned proposition numbers 81 and 82. At its April 1st-2nd State Central Committee meeting, the Peace and Freedom Party took a position on one of measures.

  • Proposition 81 (the voter pamphlet's summary, analysis, arguments for and rebuttal, arguments against and rebuttal, and the full text are available as PDFs): "California Reading and Literacy Improvement and Public Library Construction and Renovation Bond Act of 2006." This measure would have issued $600 million of bonds to renovate existing library buildings and build new libraries. Because we are generally opposed to bond measures, but in favor of building more libraries, the Peace and Freedom Party neither supported nor opposed Proposition 81. The bonds were defeated by a statewide vote of 2,326,305 (47.3%) to 2,590,954 (52.7%). In Placer County, the vote was 25,794 (34.1%) to 49,774 (65.9%).
  • Proposition 82 (the voter pamphlet's summary, analysis, arguments for and rebuttal, arguments against and rebuttal, and the full text are available as PDFs): "Preschool Education. Tax on Incomes Over $400,000 for Individuals; $800,000 for Couples. Initiative Constitutional Amendment and Statute." This measure would have raised the income tax on the rich by 1.7% and used the money raised to fund universal preschool programs for four-year olds. The Peace and Freedom Party urged that you vote YES on 82. The measure was defeated by a statewide vote of 1,958,200 (39.2%) to 3,036,217 (60.8%). In Placer County, the vote was 22,595 (29.0%) to 55,273 (71.0%).
