In case you missed it, our very own BizFed Advocacy Co-Chair Rex Hime (who is a Government Relations Director at WECA), joined us on KMJ Now this evening to talk about why BizFed is opposing Proposition 2.

Today, we released the first statewide poll on Proposition 2 and it shows the public does not like the idea of restricting construction labor on the $10 billion dollar construction bond on the ballot.

BizFed agrees that school bonds are a critical tool for keeping jobs with facility needs and generating jobs for Californians, but we think it's a shame that throughout the state, elected officials are putting the bonds' ability to pass in jeopardy by playing favorites and politics.

Construction industry experts are speculating the current polling by Probolsky Research on Proposition 2 highlights the public's growing distrust of the state spending tax dollars fairly.
