Should the state sell $7.1 billion in additional general obligation bonds--as well as redirect $425 million in unsold general obligation bonds that were previously approved by voters for resource-related uses--to fund various water-related programs?
- Increased state bond costs averaging $360 million annually over 40 years.
- Local government savings for water-related projects, likely averaging a couple hundred million dollars annually over the next few decades.
- A YES vote on this measure means:
- The state could sell $7.1 billion in additional general obligation bonds--as well as redirect $425 million in unsold general obligation bonds that were previously approved by voters for resource-related uses--to fund various water-related programs.
- A NO vote on this measure means:
- The state could not sell $7.1 billion in additional general obligation bonds to fund various water-related programs. In addition, $425 million in unsold general obligation bonds would continue to be available for resource-related uses as previously approved by voters.
- Summary of Arguments FOR Proposition 1:
- PROPOSITION 1 provides a reliable supply of water for farms, businesses and communities, especially during droughts. It supports economic growth and protects the environment. It is fiscally responsible, is guided by a comprehensive state water plan and does NOT raise taxes. Democrats and Republicans Agree: VOTE YES ON PROPOSITION 1!
- Summary of Arguments AGAINST Proposition 1:
- California can't afford Prop. 1's misplaced spending. It does little to relieve the drought or improve regional water self-sufficiency. It threatens our rivers and streams. Private water users won't pay for these dams; taxpayers shouldn't either. Prop. 1 drains funding for schools, health care, roads and public safety. VOTE NO!
