WHAT YOUR VOTE MEANS
YES
A YES vote on this measure means: The state could sell $2.85 billion in general obligation bonds to support a variety of housing and development programs.

NO
A NO vote on this measure means: The state could not sell $2.85 billion in general obligation bonds for these purposes.


ARGUMENTS
PRO
YES on Proposition 1C provides emergency shelters for battered women, affordable homes for seniors and former foster youths, and shelters with social services for homeless families without raising taxes. Rebuild California: Join Habitat for Humanity, AARP, and CA Partnership to End Domestic Violence, vote Yes on 1C.

CON
Vote “no” on Proposition 1C. Almost $3 billion in new government debt and big bureaucracy won’t make California housing affordable. Proposition 1C gives your money to a select few chosen by bureaucrats then sticks every California family of four with $600 of debt and interest. Vote “no” on irresponsible debt.
