Vote no on Prop 90

It's not often you see a bunch of taxpayer organizations and environmental groups on the same side of a ballot issue, but California's Proposition 90 is one of those rare instances.

I'm urging you to vote no on Prop 90 because it will: weaken protection for old-growth forests, artificially inflate the fair market price of land, introduce deep problems in the regulatory environment, and is likely to cost the state — and therefore us, the taxpayers — millions or possbly billions of dollars.

"In Oregon, two years after passage of similar legislation, Prop. 37, more than 1,800 claims have been filed seeking $3.7 billion in compensation," notes the Save-the-Redwoods League, which is among the many groups that has come out against Prop. 90.
