I found this little tidbit in the LAO analysis of the May budget revise:
Proposition 42 Funding Linked to GoCalifornia Proposal. While the May Revision proposes to allow the Proposition 42 transfer to occur as described above, the administration has stated its intent to make the expenditure of these funds contingent on passage of three bills that are part of the Governor's GoCalifornia proposal. These three bills—AB 850 (Canciamilla), AB 1266 (Niello), and SB 705 (Runner)—would allow the state to enter into agreements that permit private companies to build toll-funded transportation projects in addition to those already permitted by law, allow construction to begin on some transportation projects before design is complete, and allow Caltrans to award contracts to private companies to both design and build projects, respectively. The May Revision proposes to link the availability of Proposition 42 funds to the passage of these three bills.
Interesting how all those strings are attached to who gets their chunk of OUR $117 Billion dollars and how those bills also deal with Toll-Roads, i.e. tax increases (see prior articles under keyword: GoCalifornia).
