Reasons why to vote NO on Proposition 6:
Costly
Prop 6 proposes one billion dollars each year in spending with no revenues to pay for it - forcing cuts in healthcare, schools, fire protection and other vital programs.
Ineffective
Proposition 6 doesn’t put one more cop on the street. Instead, it guarantees billions of taxpayer dollars to unproven programs with no accountability.
Unproven
Prop 6 ignores and disrupts the progress of current effective crime prevention efforts of the Governor and State Legislature.
Wasteful
Prop. 6 is focused on the wrong priorities. It could take money away from schools and public safety and spend it instead on probation departments and prisons.
Dangerous
Prop. 6 would change existing law so more children as young as 14 years old will be tried as adults and relegated to the criminal justice system.

New York Times
The last thing California residents need at this point are new policies that land even more people behind bars and drive up prison spending further. But November's ballot in California, the birthplace of irresponsible government by referendum, includes two costly initiatives that would do just that.
California voters need to reject Propositions 6 and 9.
