- Summary of Arguments AGAINST Proposition 84:
- This bond was placed on the ballot by special interests that
will likely receive taxpayers' money if the bond passes.
This so-called "water and
flood control bond" has no funding for dams or water
storage and little funding for
flood control. This initiative would spend billions without
effective oversight.
