I read somewhere that if both 78 & 79 pass, the one with the higher # of votes would take effect. Is that true? I am asking because you appear to have done much more research than I have.

Yes. That is true. Most polls have shown that Prop 78 and 79 did not have the support required to Pass. Prop 78 is outspending Prop 79 by a factor about of 5:1. (about $80 million to $16 million, last time I looked). The Prop 78 campaign is not so much selling their initiative as they are trashing Prop 79 (a good thing!). The only hope of Prop 78 passing, (IMO), is if people are led to believe that they have to CHOOSE between the two. They don't!
While the CA GOP is backing Prop 78 and it was part of Arnold's original reform agenda that he announced in January (SB 19, Ortiz-D), it is just another social subsidy program--I hope that folks will be smart enough to vote NO on both.
