The opponents are simply wrong.
- Proposition 7, the Air Quality Improvement Act, was created by health and conservation groups like American Lung Association, Planning and Conservation League, and Natural Resources Defense Council, not multinational special interests.
- Only California taxpayers can receive Proposition 7 tax credits.
- Proposition 7 doesn't take a single cent away from any existing California programs.
