While many eyes were on the Democratic primary, CP&DR was focused on California's land use ballot measures. Voters said no to sales tax increases for transportation purposes in five central and northern California counties.
"Voters in five counties rejected sales tax measures for transportation purposes during the June 6 primary election, a major turnaround from November 2004 when six of ten sales tax measures for transportation won approval.
In other local balloting during the statewide primary, voters in Napa County decidedly rejected a property rights initiative that mimicked Oregon’s Measure 37. The Napa County initiative would have required the county to compensate property owners who are affected by land use regulations.
...In the northern Orange County city of Yorba Linda, voters narrowly approved a far-reaching slow-growth initiative. The measure requires the city to put to a vote general plan amendments, zoning changes, specific plans and development agreements."
