Statewide Measures

There are seven propositions on the statewide ballot February 5th, numbered 91 through 97. The Peace and Freedom Party has taken positions in favor of Proposition 92 and against Propositions 91 and 93.

  • Proposition 91 (see Smart Voter page for more "neutral" information): "Transportation Funds." Prohibits certain motor vehicle fuel taxes from being retained in General Fund and delays repayment of such taxes previously retained. Changes how and when General Fund borrowing of certain transportation funds is allowed. Even the sponsors of this measure no longer support it, because Proposition 1A, which passed in November 2006, already accomplished their purpose. We opposed both because the legislature's hands should not be tied to require the state to spend money on roads and transit even if it may be needed more urgently for education and health care. The Peace and Freedom Party urges that you vote NO on 91.
  • Proposition 92 (see Smart Voter page for more "neutral" information): "Community Colleges. Funding. Governance. Fees." Establishes independent community college districts and Board of Governors. Requires minimum funding for schools and community colleges to be calculated separately. Sets fees at $15/unit and limits future increases. The Peace and Freedom Party urges you to guarantee community college funding by voting YES on 92.
  • Proposition 93 (see Smart Voter page for more "neutral" information): "Limits on Legislators' Terms in Office." Reduces permissible state legislative service to 12 years. Allows 12 years' service in one house. Current legislators can serve 12 years in current house, regardless of prior legislative service. The Peace and Freedom Party is generally opposed to term limits. We would prefer to abolish them rather than tinker with them, but we might consider supporting some reforms to term limits. However, this measure would loosen term limits for many current incumbents but tighten them for future legislators. The Peace and Freedom Party urges that you vote NO on 93.
  • Proposition 94 (see Smart Voter page for more "neutral" information): "Referendum on Amendment to Indian Gaming Compact." "Yes" Vote approves, and "No" Vote rejects, a law that ratifies an amendment to existing gaming compact between the state and Pechanga Band of Luiseño Mission Indians. The Peace and Freedom Party has not taken a position on Proposition 94.
  • Proposition 95 (see Smart Voter page for more "neutral" information): "Referendum on Amendment to Indian Gaming Compact." "Yes" Vote approves, and "No" Vote rejects, a law that ratifies an amendment to existing gaming compact between the state and Morongo Band of Mission Indians. The Peace and Freedom Party has not taken a position on Proposition 95.
  • Proposition 96 (see Smart Voter page for more "neutral" information): "Referendum on Amendment to Indian Gaming Compact." "Yes" Vote approves, and "No" Vote rejects, a law that ratifies an amendment to existing gaming compact between the state and Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation. The Peace and Freedom Party has not taken a position on Proposition 96.
  • Proposition 97 (see Smart Voter page for more "neutral" information): "Referendum on Amendment to Indian Gaming Compact." "Yes" Vote approves, and "No" Vote rejects, a law that ratifies an amendment to existing gaming compact between the state and Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians. The Peace and Freedom Party has not taken a position on Proposition 97.
