Meg Whitman has announced her position on the propositions on California's November ballot, reports the OC Register.
The Republican Governor-hopeful is saying no to pot, repealing a tax break for businesses, and a tax to support state parks. The former eBay head also is in favor of protecting local government funding and re-arranging congressional districts. Surprised?
Here's the official position report:
* Prop. 19 - Legalize marijuana: Oppose
* Prop. 20 - Redistricting of congressional districts: Support
* Prop. 21 - Car tax to support state parks: Oppose
* Prop. 22 - Protect local government funding: Support
* Prop. 23 - Greenhouse gas moratorium: Oppose
* Prop. 24 - Repeal tax break for businesses: Oppose
* Prop. 25 - Ease 2/3rds budget requirement: Oppose
* Prop. 26 - Add 2/3rds requirement for local fees: Support
* Prop. 27 - Eliminates citizen redistricting panel: Oppose
Earlier this week Whitman's rival, Democrat Jerry Brown, called on her to take a stand on Proposition 23. Her response was to oppose it, calling the prop a "job killer," but offer a different, more "modest proposal" for the issue of greenhouse gas legislation. Brown has yet to release his full position list for the props.
