Public supports Prop. 32-for now anyway

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
New polling indicates that a majority (55%) of Californians support Prop. 32 (aka "paycheck protection"), which120816 Prop 32 survey.JPG would bar unions in the Golden State from using dues for political purposes. Support has declined, however, as public employee unions have begun their campaign against the measure with a series of radio spots. Given that the unions have defeated similar measures twice before (by large margins) and that they will probably outspend their opponents, there is still a good chance that they can stop Prop. 32.  But it is probably going to be a closer vote and harder fought campaign this time around.
