NO ON PROP 45 STATEMENT ON DEFEATING BALLOT MEASURE

Voters Chose to Protect the State’s Landmark Environmental Law

SACRAMENTO – California voters have overwhelmingly defeated Proposition 45 by more than an 11 point margin, according to the Associated Press. The margin of defeat is growing as more votes are counted.

Current vote totals, according to the Secretary of State, are 55.8% No to 44.2% Yes.

The No on Prop 45 campaign issued the following statement:

“Californians have sent a clear message to corporate developers, utilities and data center builders that they will not stand for a broad assault at the ballot box on state law protecting our air, water and natural resources. We were outspent but not outgunned, thanks to a broad bipartisan coalition that understood we can have progress and safeguard our environment at the same time. We know this fight is not over. We will continue to fight to maintain the integrity of the California Environmental Quality Act in the state legislature, and work to build a more affordable California.”
