Calif. Voters Oust Projects Backer

摘要

Passed in 2017, California Senate Bill 1 has proven adept at generating billions of dollars to improve the state's transportation infrastructure, making the legislation a major player in both the June 5 primary election and upcoming November balloting. A proposition guaranteeing that its funds will be spent only on transportation projects passed with 80% support, but one state senator's backing of SB-1 fuel taxes cost him his job in this month's voting. The results now set the stage for a possible November repeal of SB-1, with major gubernatorial candidates firmly established on opposite sides of the issue.
