LIN~ OPPOSING BALLOT PROPOSITION 61
!" lU
WHEREAS, Proposition 61, the Gann Initiative, has qualified for the
November 4, 1986 ballot; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 61 was drafted using tetlllino1ogy and defini-
tions not subatantiated or confitllled by California's legal system;
thereby creating many years of litigation in state courts to define the
measure; and
WHEREAS, implementation of Proposition 61 on the basis of prelimi-
nary studies is believed to cost California taxpayers in exce.ss of $7
billion; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 61 would impact all pay levels of all city,
county, state and public employees by setting an arbitrary limit on com-
pensation, drastically decreasing salaries and eliminating the "bull t
in" cost of living adjustment; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 61 would impact the benefits of all public
employees by prohibiting the carryover of earned but unused vacation
time and sick leave from one year to the next; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 61 is unworkable, unfair, counterproductive
and would:
(1) compromise the quality of individuals recruited for public
services;
(2) reduce the effectiveness of our court system by forcing dis-
trict attorneys and judges in~o the private sector;
(3) reduce the effectiveness of our law enforcement and public
safety agencies by reducing their ability to contract with the
private sector for emergency services;
