Boosters Say Prop. 11 Would Promote Moderates

But even some longtime redistricting supporters oppose the November initiative, such as political activist Ted Costa, the lead author of Proposition 77, the failed 2005 initiative that would have placed a panel of three retired judges in charge of drawing the districts.

He said loopholes in Proposition 11 would allow the Legislature to change the commission’s makeup and that powerful interest groups such as public employee unions could exploit the open application process to recruit ringers to serve on it.

Ah thank you! I was trying to remember the reasons you brought forth previously to explain the terrible weakness in Prop 11 to our Lodi friends last night.

You are without a doubt one of the FReeperworld's foremost authorities on CA ballot measures. CA FReepers would all be most wise to use your knowledge AND especially your understanding as their best resource!!! Seriously!!!

THE HJTA has endorsed it. If you look at the NO side - it reads like a Democratic Party front group. Californians have two choices: let the politicians pick and choose their voters again or try something different.

Yeah, I was wondering about Ted's take on Prop 11.

PLEASE PEOPLE... IF IN ANY DOUBT, VOTE NO!!!

That's been my long-running philosophy.

I've been leaning No on Catch 22... er... Prop 11.
