June 2008: Endorsement Links

Endorsements from the editorial boards of various news and political organizations.

San Francisco Chronicle
98 : No --Prop. 98 is disingenuous and dangerous. It threatens to wreak havoc on the ability to achieve collective goals throughout the state. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, former Gov. Pete Wilson and Sen. Dianne Feinstein all oppose 98 out of a concern that it could imperil this state's ability to assure an adequate water supply for the future. A Coastal Commission analysis warns that it could undermine efforts to protect the coast and keep it accessible to the public.
99 : Yes --Vote yes on Proposition 99. It has no hidden agendas, no ulterior motives and far less risk of unintended consequences than Proposition 98.

SF Bay Guardian
Proposition 98:NO, NO, NO
Proposition 99: YES, YES, YES
There's a little rhyme to help you remember which way to vote on this critical pair of ballot measures: "We hate 98, but 99 is fine."

Los Angeles Times
Proposition 98: No
Proposition 99: Yes
You wouldn't know from reading the ballot title and summary that Proposition 98 is an anti-rent-control measure, but that's become the primary focus of its financial backers, the vast majority of whom are landlords and rental property management companies.
