For the ninth time since November 2002, California voters are being asked to vote on issues of wide-ranging impact to the future of our state. On Tuesday, May 19, California voters will cast their votes on a series of budget reform measures placed on the ballot by Governor Schwarzenegger and the Legislature as a result of a budget “deal” reached in February 2009.

The outcome of the special election will have a dramatic impact on California’s fiscal and policy choices in the short term and long term.

Please see full legislative update for more information.
