Mercury News: Vote yes on Prop. 22

Lawmakers in Sacramento have for years borrowed or outright raided billions from cities and redevelopment and transit agencies, blowing holes in local spending plans in an attempt to paper over the state’s structural deficit. It’s dishonest and may even be illegal, and it contradicts the will of voters.

Proposition 22 on the Nov. 2 ballot would – once and for all, we hope – protect local governments and agencies from these money grabs. It would also force a more honest accounting of the state’s budget picture. We recommend a yes vote on Proposition 22.
