November in California: Sea Change for the American Dream?
7 July 2010 - 5:00am
Columnist Dan Walters looks at issues coming before California voters this November that could revise the traditional "American Dream" within the state -- or undo efforts to change it.
A ballot measure facing voters this Fall could put a stop to the state's land use-focused climate and carbon bills.
"A coalition of oil companies has qualified a ballot measure that would suspend AB 32 – and implicitly SB 375 and other follow-up laws – until the state achieved and sustained a 5.5 percent unemployment level, which almost never happens."
