Provides for public financing
of candidate and ballot measure
campaign costs, disclosure of top
contributors and fund-raising time
restrictions; establishes contribution,
spending limits; and bans corporate
contributions. Fiscal Impact: State
costs of more than $55 million
annually offset to an unknown
extent. Potential local government
costs of several million dollars
annually.
- A YES vote of this measure means:
- State laws governing political
campaigns for candidates and ballot
measures would be revised to
establish mandatory contribution
limits, voluntary limits on campaign
spending, public funding for
campaign broadcast advertising and
voter information packets, Internet
disclosure of campaign information,
and various new campaign
disclosure and financial reporting
requirements.
- A NO vote of this measure means:
- State law governing political
campaigns, campaign advertising,
and financial disclosure requirements
would remain unchanged.
- Summary of Arguments FOR Proposition 25:
- Proposition 25 limits campaign
contributions and spending and
requires immediate Internet
disclosure of contributions of $1,000
or more. Proposition 25 only costs
about $1 per year per taxpayer, and
will save taxpayers and consumers
billions by stopping big corporations
and big unions from controlling our
government. Vote Yes on 25!
