@calmatters: One research institute will receive $4.2 billion in bond money if voters approve Proposition 38 in November. As of last month, that institute only has 3 hired staff. Photo by Brian van der Brug and via Gary. K. Michelson’s website Music by Gummy Musiclab #california #elections #prop38
I voted no. Billionaires can pay for their own research

I struggled with this one, but ultimately the fact that the main sponsor would receive the lion’s share of the funds pushed me to vote no. It’s like Michelson basically bought a bill to fund his own institute. There are better ways to make research funding available without earmarking such a huge portion of the money for only one place.

Basically. The state (taxpayers) is going to take out $8billion in loans and give $4billion to one guys “charity”.

I’m voting no! Funds don’t seem to benefit those who need them. Voting no on props that incur debt.
