What happened
Proposition 2, the Save for California’s Future Act, seeks to allow state lawmakers to save up to 20% of the state’s general fund tax revenue, doubling the current 10% ceiling. Proponents, including Governor Gavin Newsom and Democratic lawmakers, argue this is necessary to manage California’s volatile economy.
