League of Women Voters of California Education Fund In Depth Analysis of June 1998 State Ballot Measures

See also the Pros & Cons summary of the Ballot Measures.

The League of Women Voters of California is a nonpartisan organization committed to informed and active citizen participation in government. All citizens, men and women, of voting age are welcomed to join. The League has two roles, citizen education and advocacy. Our election services are carried out by the League of Women Voters of California Education Fund (LWVCEF) and exclude all advocacy.

[FROM PROS & CONS] These PROS & CONS are researched and developed by the LWVCEF. They are an unbiased presentation of the measures on the June 2, 1998 California General Election ballot. The League does not judge the merits of the arguments or guarantee their validity. Arguments come from many sources and are not limited to those found in the state ballot pamphlet.

[FROM IN DEPTH]

The material contained in this In Depth has been prepared to assist members of the League of Women Voters of California in their Voters Service efforts. It has been researched by League members on the Election Materials Writing Team and read for accuracy and neutrality by members of the League of Women Voters of California state board and experienced League members.

The Office of the Secretary of State, the Legislative Analyst Office, the Fair Political Practices Commission and the Attorney General's Office supplied the information on the measures. Pro and con arguments as well as background information came from many sources including the State Ballot Pamphlet, legislative hearing testimony, interviews, newspapers, magazines, and from the support and opposition.
