��-i � HERE'S WHAT PROMINENT CALIFORNIA NEWSPAPERS ARE SAYING ABOUT PROP.1A TOTAL NUMBER OF YES ON 1A EDITORIALS: 26 "Proposition 1A keeps states out of local pockets" "This newspaper has long opposed such legalized thievery and supports Proposition 1A. ... Prop. 1A gives local officials the security they need to stop such raids and offers them some predictability and stability in budget planning. ... Vote "yes" on 1A and "no" on Prop. 65." Oakland Tribune Editorial, October 13, 2004 "Protect local government, Vote yes on Proposition 1A, No on Proposition 65" "Cities and counties send money to Sacramento and, if they're lucky, get enough of it back to adequately fund police, firefighting and other local services. Or, as is often the case, Sacramento hangs on to the cash, leaving local governments short-changed. ... To protect local govemments, Proposition 1A is California's best hope." Los Angeles Daily News Editorial, October 13, 2004 "Yes on Prop. 1A" "Proposition 1A protects local revenues from state raids, safeguarding the public services that matter most to voters.
