So What's Happening Right Now?

The last election was held May 19, 2009.  Six initiatives appeared on this ballot -- Props 1A - 1F, all of which stemmed from the state legislature's budget negotiations in January and February of 2009.  For links to information on each of these, click here.

Looking ahead, in June 2010 we will have the regularly scheduled state primary election.  Three measures are currently slated for that ballot, click here for more info.
