Proposition 1: Governor Gavin Newsom and the legislature placed a major transformation of the state’s behavioral health care system on the March Primary ballot as Proposition 1. Prop. 1 has a General Obligation Bond for construction of behavioral health treatment and residential care settings and permanent supportive housing. The proposal recognizes and supports the critical need to expand a culturally competent and well-trained behavioral health care workforce to address behavioral health capacity shortages and expand access to services. Prop. 1 will promote accountability with results for people with mental health and substance use disorders, including for children and youth, veterans, and unhoused people.

SUPPORT

Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act: This is an attack by wealthy corporations and real-estate developers on one of the fundamentals of our democracy. CTA believes any local, state measure or initiative should be passed by 50% plus one, not a supermajority. The measure would put vital services we all depend on at risk.

OPPOSE

ACA 13/Protect and Retain the Majority Vote Act: For the reasons above and to prevent future attacks on majority rule democracy, CTA believes majority rule should be enshrined in our state Constitution.
