California Initiatives
The Kelo decision continues to elicit a backlash. California voters will decide on two separate iniatitives in June that would limit the ability of local governments to take land for private purposes. One of the eminent domain measures would also abolish rent control in several communities.
Looking ahead to November, California conservatives -- shut out from power in Sacramento -- are hoping voters will embrace several propositions, including a constitutional ban on gay marriage, parental notification for abortions and a pair to address criminal justice. They've got a kitty of $9 million to start.
GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
