WHAT YOUR VOTE MEANS
YES A YES vote on this measure means: In a limited number of cases, government would no longer have the authority to take a single-family home. |
|
NO A NO vote on this measure means: There would be no change to government’s authority to take single-family homes. That is, government could take a home for a public purpose if government paid the owner for its value. |
ARGUMENTS
PRO 99 prohibits government from taking homes for private development. 41 other states reformed eminent domain laws after the Supreme Court ruled it OK for government to take homes for private development. It’s time for California to act. 99 is straightforward reform: no loopholes, no hidden agendas. Protect homes. Yes 99. |

CON The nonpartisan Legislative Analyst states Proposition 99 "is not likely to significantly alter current government land acquisition practices."Meaning: “Proposition 99 protects nothing.” Politicians and developers spent $4,000,000.00+ on Proposition 99 to kill every Proposition 98 property protection. Proposition 99 was written to trick voters, and destroy 98’s property protections. |
