What happened
State Senator Catherine Blakespear opposes Proposition 45, a ballot measure designed to substantially change California's environmental protection law, CEQA. Blakespear asserts that the measure tips the balance from favoring the public and the environment to favoring developers and polluting projects. She noted that Proposition 45 would be the most significant overhaul of CEQA since Ronald Reagan signed the law in 1970.

Why it matters
Proposition 45 is a business-backed measure that would make it easier and less costly to build various projects, including housing, clean energy, and transportation facilities. However, the reform would also reduce the time and tools available to citizens who wish to assess and oppose projects in their area.
