Another commercial urging a "no" vote, this one on Proposition 53 because it "gives the state control over local projects."
Oh, please. The proposition requires a popular vote before the state can issue general revenue bonds for amounts exceeding $2 billion. So, regarding the claim made in the commercial, the state does not issue bonds for local projects, local governments issue those bonds and this proposition affects only state issuance of bonds. In any case, how many local projects exceed $2 billion?
That doesn't mean I'm going to vote for this mess, but...
