NO ON 98
–
Prop 98
Is An Attack on the Environment, Water Infrastructure,
Renters and Our Communities.
YES ON 99
– Prop 99 Is The Homeowners Protection Act
Prop. 98 on the June 2008 ballot is a
deceptive and poorly-drafted measure that would do
widespread harm to Californians. Dubbed the “Hidden
Agendas Scheme”, it would threaten land-use planning and
jeopardize laws that protect the environment and our
communities, , hurt efforts to ensure a reliable supply
of clean, safe drinking water, and eliminate rent
control and renter protections.
At first glance it’s easy to be fooled by
Prop. 98, and its proponents are hoping voters don’t
look further than their claims about eminent domain
reform. But, hidden in the definitions of the measure
are harmful, far-reaching provisions that would amend
our state Constitution for the worse.
Save Mount Diablo has joined a broad
coalition opposing Prop. 98, including Governor Arnold
Schwarzenegger, Senator Dianne Feinstein, the League of
California Homeowners, League of Woman Voters of
California, AARP, California Chamber of Commerce,
California Police Chiefs Association, California
Alliance for Retired Americans, California Teachers
Association, National Wildlife Federation, California
Black Chamber of Commerce, Coalition to Protect
California Renters, and many others. These groups will
be working hard to ensure that voters understand the
hidden provisions in Prop. 98 and the adverse
consequences for our communities.
Many of the same groups who oppose Prop.
98 also support Prop. 99 - a true eminent domain reform
measure called the Homeowners Protection Act. Prop. 99
will protect owner-occupied homes from being taken by
eminent domain to transfer to a private party. It is a
straightforward, reform without the hidden agendas and
adverse consequences of Prop. 98. To learn more and get
