California Propositions

By Kent Scheidegger et al.

Here is a bit of good news this morning. With 90% of precincts reporting, it appears that Proposition 9, the crime victims' rights initiative, has passed by a 6% margin.

Proposition 6 was also defeated by a large margin, probably reflecting a distaste for ballot-box budgeting at a time of fiscal crisis.
