Environmental groups in California appear generally to be unhappy with Proposition 1, which would put $14 billion into auto-related road infrastructure and another $4 billion into public transportation. Presumably the unhappiness stems from the fact that the majority of funding would be tilted toward the automobile (i.e, "polluting") user. Nonetheless, Capitol Weekly reports today:
Environmental groups, lured by the prospect of more than $4 billion for
public-transit projects, are backing away from opposing the massive
transportation bond on the November ballot. The environmentalists also are
daunted by the nearly $7 million in campaign funds amassed by the bond's
supporters.
Over the weekend, the 75-delegate board of the Sierra Club of California
decided against opposing the $19.95 billion bond package, which includes the
money for public transit and $14 billion for road construction, plus other
projects.
Bill Allayaud, the group's legislative director, said Northern California
members pushed to fight the bond, while many Southern California members
wanted to stay neutral.
"There wasn't even a breath of talk about supporting the bond," Allayaud
said.
