Prop 5 Allows Local Bonds for Affordable Housing and Public Infrastructure with 55% voter Approval  YES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prop 34 Restricts Spending of Prescription Drug Revenues by certain Health Care Providers (put on ballot by petition signatures)  NO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The State is already negotiating for lower prescription through Medi-Cal (?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prop 35 Provided Permanent Funding for Medi-Cal Health care Services (put on ballot by petition signatures) NO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legislature should have flexibility to make changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prop 36 Allows Felony charges and Increases Sentences for Certain Drug and Theft Crimes (put on ballot by petition signatures) NO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will harsher penalties deter the ring behavior?  League of Womens Voters is opposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People don\u2019t want to go to Target etc and shop where things are locked up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
