ARGUMENTS

PRO California faces droughts, wildfires, floods, and other challenges to our water and natural resources. YES ON 68: Invests in natural resources and disaster prevention, cleans up contaminated drinking water, increases local water supplies, provides safe parks for children and future generations. Annual audits ensure accountability. American Lung Association in California, California Chamber of Commerce, The Nature Conservancy, agree: www.YES68CA.com

CON I’m not here to tell you that addressing drought, water, parks, climate, coastal protection, and outdoor access is wrong. Borrowing for them is wrong. California has enough debt. It has the worst balance sheet of all 50 states. The last thing the State of California needs is more debt!
