Prop 98 would prohibit the ability of local governments to convey property from one private owner to another. It would also abolish rent control, and potentially gut many zoning and environmental laws.
This measure is far reaching, and is described by many as a guise to get rid of rent control laws, and provides only a weak protection against eminent domain seizures.
The official group supporting Prop 98 is Californians for Property Rights Protection, which is a project of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. It is opposed by the California Chamber of Commerce, the League of California Cities, the League of Women Voters and the Nature Conservancy.
In a nutshell, this is a bad proposition put forth by folks who are trying to sell a sheep in wolves clothing. If the desire is to tame the potential abuse of eminent domain , then Prop 99 should receive your "yes" vote, NOT Prop 98.
VOTE: NO
