Serving Bread

Voting no on this proposition is a no-brainer for me.In the voter guide, I noticed that the proponents of the proposition failed to address the underlying motive of this proposition. Here’s what the opponents write (which has not been refuted, and I have heard radio debates on this topic):

From the Voter’s Guide:

What do you call it when one company puts a measure on the ballot to put taxpayer dollars in their own pockets? … One company, owned by Texas billionaire oilman T. Boone Pickens, paid all the money for the signatures that put this measure on the ballot ($3,000,000!). And–surprise–they are first in line to get the lion’s share of the taxpayer dollars it would appropriate. Proposition 10 would take nearly $10 billion of your tax dollars primarily to subsidize trucks and large vehicles so that they can run on natural gas sold by–you guessed it–companies like the one owned by T. Boone Pickens.
