- Encourages balanced state budgets by preventing elected Members of the Legislature and statewide
constitutional officers, including the Governor, from receiving pay raises in years when the state is
running a deficit.
- Directs the Director of Finance to determine whether a given year is a deficit year.
- Prevents the Citizens Compensation Commission from increasing elected officials' salaries in years
when the state Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties is in the negative by an amount equal to or
greater than one percent of the General Fund.
- Minor state savings related to elected state officials' salaries in some cases when the state is expected to
end the year with a budget deficit.
- A YES vote on this measure means:
- Members
of the Legislature, the Governor,
and other elected state officials
could not receive salary increases
in certain cases when the state
General Fund is expected to end
the year with a deficit.
- A NO vote on this measure means:
- A commission
established by voters in 1990
could continue to give salary
increases to Members of the
Legislature, the Governor, and
other elected state officials in any
year, including cases when the
state General Fund is expected to
end the year with a deficit.
- Summary of Arguments FOR Proposition 1F:
- Yes on 1F: NO
PAY RAISES FOR
POLITICIANS WHEN
CALIFORNIA IS RUNNING
A DEFICIT. Prop. 1F prohibits
legislators, the governor and other
state politicians from getting
pay raises whenever the state is
running a deficit.
- Summary of Arguments AGAINST Proposition 1F:
- Proposition 1F won't work.
Legislators won't change
their voting behavior just because
of a threatened salary freeze.
This petty, vindictive attempt to
punish the Legislature will give us
no relief from budget stalemates,
while unfairly penalizing
innocent bystanders such as the
Secretary of State and Board of
Equalization.
