Republicans Vote To Oppose Ballot Measures

SACRAMENTO (AP) ― The California Republican Party voted to oppose all six ballot proposals in next month's special election, saying voters must reject higher taxes.

The party's executive committee voted Saturday following a lively, hour-long debate that focused on Proposition 1A. The measure would create a state spending cap and bolster California's rainy day fund, two concepts Republicans have long promoted.

But those provisions were overshadowed by triggers in the measure that would extend the sales and income taxes adopted by the state Legislature.

The party also voted to oppose the other five measures before voters on the May 19th ballot.
