This means efforts by both parties to get their constituents to actually vote could decide who will control policymaking in Congress for at least the next two years. Polls indicate California’s Senate race between Democrat Adam Schiff and Republican Steve Garvey is no real contest, with Schiff holding leads that average about 20% in almost every poll.
Prop. 5 would lower the passage threshold to that same 55% for many nonschool projects, marking a fundamental change in 1978’s tax-limiting Prop. 13. This one is strongly opposed by the tax-fighting Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. Rent control is also back on the ballot, after voters twice earlier voted down statewide controls. Under Prop. 33, local governments would not need approval from their own voters to enact controls on residential property, not even on relatively new units built since 1995 that are now exempt from most rent control.
