The measure would also create a new category of crime — a “treatment-mandated felony.” People who don’t contest the charges could complete drug treatment instead of going to prison, but if they don’t finish treatment, they still face up to three years in prison. Ed reviews the arguments for and against the proposition. Podcasts The Voice of Laguna no no Prop. 35 would make permanent a tax on managed health care plans o1033-5391-670ebd46df0b0 iam32flavors@gmail.com (Ann Marie McKay) Tue, 15 Oct 2024 14:30:00 +0000 0:04:18 https://www.voiceoflaguna.com/podcasts/california-propositions/ Proposition 35 would make permanent the existing tax on managed health care insurance plans, which provides revenues to pay for Medi-Cal health care services. Also, new rules would direct how the state must use the revenue. Ed summaries the arguments for and against the proposition. Podcasts The Voice of Laguna no no Prop 34 would require certain providers to use prescription drug revenue for patients o1033-5391-670da478201b4 iam32flavors@gmail.com (Ann Marie McKay) Mon, 14 Oct 2024 14:30:00 +0000 0:04:11 https://www.voiceoflaguna.com/podcasts/california-propositions/ Sponsored by the trade group for California’s landlords, this measure is squarely aimed at knee-capping the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which has been active in funding ballot measures (see Prop. 33). Proposition 34 would require some California providers to spend at least 98% of that net drug sale revenue on “direct patient care.” The measure would also put into law a Newsom administration policy that requires all state agencies to negotiate for lower drug prices as a single entity. Ed goes over the pros and cons of the proposition. Podcasts The Voice of Laguna no no Prop. 33 would allow local governments to impose rent controls o1033-5391-670c197143c5f iam32flavors@gmail.com (Ann Marie McKay) Fri, 11 Oct 2024 14:30:00 +0000 0:03:07 https://www.voiceoflaguna.com/podcasts/california-propositions/ Nearly 30% of California renters spend more than half their income on rent. If Proposition 33 passes, cities would be allowed to control rents on any type of housing – including single-family homes and new apartments, and for new tenants. Ed summarizes the arguments for and against this proposition. Podcasts The Voice of Laguna no no Prop 6 would limit forced labor in state prisons o1033-5391-6708143383d6a iam32flavors@gmail.com (Ann Marie McKay) Thu, 10 Oct 2024 17:51:47 +0000 0:03:05 https://www.voiceoflaguna.com/podcasts/california-propositions/ Proposition 6 would amend the California Constitution to prohibit the state from punishing inmates with involuntary work assignments and from disciplining those who refuse to work. Instead, state prisons could set up a volunteer work assignment program to take time off sentences in the form of credits. It would let county or city ordinances set up a pay scale for inmates in local jails. Ed reviews the pros and cons of the proposition. Podcasts The Voice of Laguna no no Prop 32 would raise the State's minimum wage to $18 an hour o1033-5391-67083e2d028c7 iam32flavors@gmail.com (Ann Marie McKay) Thu, 10 Oct 2024 14:45:00 +0000 0:03:13 https://www.voiceoflaguna.com/podcasts/california-propositions/ Proposition 32 would raise the minimum wage to $17 an hour for the remainder of 2024, and $18 an hour starting in January 2025 — a bump from the current $16 an hour. Small businesses with 25 or fewer employees would be required to start paying at least $17 an hour next year, and $18 an hour in 2026. Starting in 2027, the wage would be adjusted based on inflation, as the state already does. If the Proposition passes, California will have the nation’s highest State minimum wage. Ed goes over the pros and cons of the Proposition. Podcasts The Voice of Laguna no no Proposition 5 would lower voter approval requirements for local housing and infrastructure o1033-5391-6705a2645d18b iam32flavors@gmail.com (Ann Marie McKay) Tue, 08 Oct 2024 15:30:00 +0000 0:03:12 https://www.voiceoflaguna.com/podcasts/california-propositions/ This constitutional amendment would make it easier for local governments to borrow money for affordable housing and some other public infrastructure projects by lowering the voter approval requirement from two-thirds to 55%. Ed breaks down the arguments for and against this proposition. Podcasts The Voice of Laguna no no This Proposition would allow the State to borrow $10 billion to respond to climate change o1033-5391-67046231b2621 iam32flavors@gmail.com (Ann Marie McKay) Mon, 07 Oct 2024 14:30:00 +0000 0:04:25 https://www.voiceoflaguna.com/podcasts/california-propositions/ Approving Proposition 4 would authorize $10 billion in debt to spend on environmental and climate projects, with the biggest chunk, $1.9 billion, for drinking water improvements. The bond prioritizes lower-income communities, and those most vulnerable to climate change, and requires annual audits. Ed reviews the pros and cons of this Proposition. Podcasts The Voice of Laguna no no Prop 3 would reaffirm the right of same-sex couples to marry. Ed reviews the Proposition and the arguments for and against. o1033-5391-66fff796256ea iam32flavors@gmail.com (Ann Marie McKay) Thu, 03 Oct 2024 14:30:00 +0000 0:04:37 https://www.voiceoflaguna.com/podcasts/california-propositions/ This constitutional amendment would remove outdated language from Proposition 8, passed by voters in 2008, that characterizes marriage as only between a man and a woman. In practice, the ballot measure would not change who can marry. Podcasts The Voice of Laguna no no Ed goes over what Prop 2 would do and the arguments for and against. o1033-5391-66fff5d28ca9d iam32flavors@gmail.com (Ann Marie McKay) Tue, 01 Oct 2024 14:30:00 +0000 0:02:10 https://www.voiceoflaguna.com/podcasts/california-propositions/ California’s Proposition 2 would authorize the State to borrow $10 billion to repair K-12 schools and community colleges to renovate, fix and construct facilities. The money would be distributed through matching grants, with the State paying a greater share of costs for less affluent districts and those with higher numbers of English learners and foster youth. Some of the money would be set aside for removing lead from water, creating transitional kindergarten classrooms, and building career and technical education facilities.
