California's October 7 recall ballot will feature more than Gray, Cruz, and Arnold.
While ballot measure over the past few years have secured funding for parkland, water quality, and subsidized housing, simple infrastructure investment has recieved little attention form Voters. The California Business Roundtable hopes to change that, and have helped place Proposition 53, a constitutional ammendment that would mandate an allotment of the general fund for infrastructure, on the October 7 recall ballot. Metro Investment Report is pleased to present this interview with California Business Rountable President William Hauck in which he explains why Proposition 53 is necessary for California's sustained economic growth and how it differs from other initiatives that have sought funding from the state's general fund.
