## Resource

California’s November ballot is packed with fourteen major propositions, from doubling the state’s rainy day fund to reshaping campaign finance and recall elections. Big players like Uber and labor unions quietly shelved competing measures, while the controversial billionaire tax remains alive — though it’s now facing stiff opposition from wealthy backers who are funding alternative initiatives designed to block it. Other proposals include mortgage aid, stricter voter ID rules, and protections for retirement savings — all set to reshape the state’s finances, voting system, and political landscape.
