" Proposition 15 is designed as a small step towards public funding for state campaigns in California. It will repeal the current state ban on public funding for political campaigns, and institute a pilot public funding program for the Secretary of State election in the 2014 and 2018 elections. In those cycles, qualifying candidates for the office of Secretary of State could choose to receive public funds to pay for the costs of campaigns. The source of the campaign funds would be from increased lobbying fees. CLCV recommends a YES position because we believe that this measure will set in place a real-live test of public financing in California, and provide candidates for Secretary of State with the resources they need to reach voters without relying on the deep pockets of campaign donors."

"NO Proposition 16 would amend the California state constitution adding a new 2/3 voter approval requirement when local governments want to establish a municipal power provider, expand municipal electricity service into a new territory, or implement a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA). CLCV opposes Proposition 16 because it restricts a competitive market that is essential to encourage innovation in the public energy sector. Instituting a new 2/3 requirement for adoption of a CCA or expanding municipal utility coverage could limit the public’s ability to encourage utilities to expand their renewable portfolios, and could stall California’s clean energy economic recovery. Proposition 16’s requirement of a 2/3 voter approval is counter to CLCV’s commitment to encourage public participation, competition, and accountability. "

"Proposition 14 will amend the California state constitution to create a single ballot for primary elections. Under this proposed system all candidates would be listed on one primary ballot —including independent and all party candidates. Each voter, regardless of party, would use the same ballot to cast his or her vote in the primary. The two candidates with the highest number of votes in the primary election—regardless of their party preference—would advance to compete in the general. CLCV is opposing the measure because we believe that a top-two primary system will ultimately limit voter choices and further benefit incumbent legislators. By bringing only two candidates forward to the general election each cycle, the system will shut out participation by minor parties and make it more difficult for alternate political views to have a place in the general election discussion.
