The 2012 California Proposition 31 was officially titled "State Budget. State and Local Government. Initiative Constitutional Amendment and Statute." It was a California ballot measure in the November 2012 California elections. The initiative would have established a two-year state budget, allowed the governor to make budget cuts in fiscal emergencies, prevented the state state legislature from spending more than 25ドル million without creating spending cuts or other budget offsets, and allowed local governments the ability to transfer certain amounts of property taxes among themselves instead of the state.[2] [3] Although the law was supported by the California Republican Party, multiple conservative groups came out against proposition 31, including members of the Tea Party movement who viewed the law as a way to undermine property rights.[4] [5] [6]
Analysis
[edit ]If Proposition 31 had passed, it was estimated that the state government would have suffered a loss of 200ドル million, as these funds would have been transferred to local governments.[7]
