Background

This is the ranked choice vote for the GPCA to take a position Proposition 31: State Budget. State and Local Government. Initiative Constitutional Amendment and Statute.

The choices are to rank 'endorse', 'oppose', 'no position' and/or 'abstain'. Delegates can rank as many (or as few) of these options in their order of preference.

An 'endorse' vote would mean the GPCA would endorse Proposition 31. An 'oppose' vote means the GPCA would oppose Proposition 31. A 'no position' vote means the GPCA would not take a position on Proposition 31. An 'abstain' vote means the voter is not expressing a preference, but is voting to help achieve quorum. Any of these position that receives 2/3 after all preferences are transferred is the position of the party. If neither 'endorse' nor 'opposes' receive 2/3, the GPCA's position will be 'no position'.

Ballot Title and Summary: State Budget. State and Local Government. Initiative Constitutional Amendment and Statute.

http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/vig-public-display/110612-general-election/prop-31/prop-31-title-summary.pdf

"Establishes two-year state budget cycle. Prohibits Legislature from creating expenditures of more than $25 million unless offsetting revenues or spending cuts are identified. Permits Governor to cut budget unilaterally during declared fiscal emergencies if Legislature fails to act. Requires performance reviews of all state programs. Requires performance goals in state and local budgets. Requires publication of bills at least three days prior to legislative vote. Allows local governments to alter how laws governing state-funded programs apply to them, unless Legislature or state agency vetoes changes within 60 days."

Summary of Legislative Analyst's Estimate of Net State and Local Government Fiscal Impact

"Decreased state sales tax revenues of about $200 million annually, with a corresponding increase of funding to certain local governments. Other, potentially more significant changes in state and local spending and revenues, the magnitude of which would depend on future decisions by public officials.

Yes/No Statement

"A YES vote on this measure means: Certain fiscal responsibilities of the Legislature and Governor, including state and local budgeting and oversight procedures, would change. Local governments that create plans to coordinate services would receive funding from the state and could develop their own procedures for administering state programs."

"A NO vote on this measure means: The fiscal responsibilities of the Legislature and Governor, including state and local budgeting and oversight procedures, would not change. Local governments would not be given (1) funding to implement new plans that coordinate services or (2) authority to develop their own procedures for administering state programs."
