We oppose Amendment 78. While we would generally agree that the legislature should control the “power of the purse,” it is too broad a mandate to require that ALL funds received by the state be subject to legislative appropriation. Some custodial fund spending is discretionary or political and should be debated at the legislative level; other funding is less so. Broadly applying this ballot remedy to all funding could delay or interrupt state services, including emergency response. A more narrowly focused measure would be more appropriate.

We oppose Amendment 78. We support Proposition 119. Prosper CO We oppose Proposition 120.  Contact our Public Affairs team.
