We’re tracking decisions for statewide measures spanning from rent control and minimum wage to gay marriage are on the Nov. 5 ballot.
Ballot measures this year range in issues from education funding to marriage equality, minimum wage increases to public safety and more. California voters weighed 10 ballot propositions this year, measures that touch on everything from insurance-related taxes and new bonds to fight climate change to proposals that would solidify same-sex marriage in California and crack down on not-so-petty theft.
In addition to enshrining marriage equality in California, Proposition 3 also repeals Proposition 8, a 2008 law that bans same-sex marriage. Though federal law overrides Proposition 8, the law has remained on the books.Voters appear poised to OK a bid to add about $10 billion in bond debt to pay for a variety of projects connected to climate change.
Proposition 5 opponents say local taxes tend to fall disproportionately on property owners, so the tax burden itself is undemocratic. They also argue that the high threshold to approve a tax prevents what they view as poor spending decisions.
Proposition 32, however, would extend raises to an estimated 2 million people who currently earn the state minimum. The new minimum would be $17 an hour in 2025 and $18 an hour in 2026. California has a much higher share of renters than the national average , and supporters of Proposition 33 say most of those renters pay more than a third of their income to keep a roof over their heads.
Opponents say Proposition 34’s purpose is to punish AIDS Healthcare Foundation for advocating for lower rents and other concepts opposed by the real estate industry. Supporters say the law’s purpose is to instill accountability; federal discounts on drug prices should be used to help patients.
