Environmental Endorsements (CLCV) - June 3, 2008
Oakland, CA
June 3, 2008
The California League of Conservation Voters is the non-partisan political action arm of California's environmental movement. This is a partial list of our endorsements for June 3, 2008.
Proposition 98
Prop 98 is dangerous: it threatens to wipe out critical laws and regulations that protect our environment. Out-of-state property rights extremists who've spent millions to put Proposition 98 on the ballot want you to think it will protect homes--but in reality, hidden provisions in Prop 98 would:
* erode environmental protections, from air and water quality to natural resource protection
* destroy local land-use planning
* eliminate other important protections, such as rent control
Vote NO on Prop 98.
Proposition 99
Prop 99, the Homeowners Protection Act, is a real eminent domain reform measure, prohibiting government from taking homes to transfer to private developers. Prop 99 is straightforward reform without the hidden agendas and adverse consequences of Prop 98. Prop 99 is supported by a broad coalition of homeowners, business, labor, cities, counties and environmentalists.
