11/3 Chevron and the big guys raised 80 million dollars to defeat
Prop 87. Too bad they can't give back some of that money
to the consumers.
\_ The fact that they already allocated 80 million dollars
translates to 80 million extra dollars the consumers will soon
have to pay at the pumps.
\_ When I lived in California, back in the late 90's, there were
propositions in the 200's. How come there is now a two digit
proposition? Did they reset the counter?
\_ It's a 10 year rotation. There was a time when the numbers
reset every single election.
\_ Cool, thanks for that tidbit.
\_ If someone was trying to reach into my pocket for $4B, I might spend
$80M to prevent it as well.
\_ They're a corporation. Their responsibility is to their share
holders not consumers. Prop 87 is stupid anyway.
\_ The fact that it specifically excludes itself from conflict of
interest laws is a little more than stupid IMO. |
