California: Prop 1D & 1E: Mental Health Saves Trees

California Votes next month, on May 19th.

ballotpedia on 1D

California Proposition 1D will be on a special statewide May 19, 2009 election ballot in California, appearing as a legislatively-referred constitutional amendment. It is part of the 2009-2010 California state budget and tax increase agreement.

To avoid additional cuts in general fund-supported state spending, Proposition 1D would authorize a fund-shift of $268 million in annual tobacco tax revenue currently earmarked for "First Five" early childhood development programs under the terms of California Proposition 10 (1998). That revenue, plus $340 million in unspent "First Five" tobacco tax money now held in a reserve fund, would instead be used to pay for other state government health and human services programs that serve children, including Medicaid, foster care, child care subsidies, preschool programs, and more. Money for these programs currently comes from the state general fund. .....

..... under the SCHIP program the federal government pays more than half its cost.

ballotpedia on 1E

California Proposition 1E will be on a special statewide May 19, 2009 election ballot in California, appearing as a legislatively-referred constitutional amendment. It is part of the 2009-2010 California state budget and tax increase agreement.

To avoid additional cuts in general fund-supported state spending, Proposition 1E would authorize a fund-shift of approximately $230 million annually in income tax surcharge revenue currently earmarked for specified mental health programs under the terms of California Proposition 63 (2004), also known as the Mental Health Services Act. For two years that revenue would instead be used to pay for the state's share of the "Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment Program," a federally mandated Medicaid program for low income persons under age 21. Revenue for this program currently comes from the state general fund.

The earmarked Proposition 63 (2004) revenue that would be diverted comes from a 1 percent state income tax surcharge imposed on the portion of a taxpayer’s taxable income in excess of $1 million. In the past this surcharge has taken in between $900 million and $1.5 billion annually.

Libertarian Party Of California Opposes Ballot Propositions 1A through 1E

* Prop. 1D - This is another shell game gimmick. If Prop. 1D passes, $1.7 billion of Prop. 10 money would be redirected to pay for another program that was cut in the general fund. In the process, Prop. 1D would create more auditing and reporting mandates on the counties that are required to implement the program. Prop. 1D is not borrowing but a direct taking. It will do nothing to reduce overall government spending. Vote NO.

* Prop. 1E - Like Prop. 1D, if 1E passes, it will create a shell game where one fund (Prop. 63, the Rob Reiner-supported Mental Health Services initiative from 2004) will be gutted to pay for another program (Medi-Cal) that sustained cuts in the general fund, in another direct taking. It will do nothing to reduce overall government spending. Vote NO.

California's Prop 1D and 1E address moving 'Mental Health' funds from one pile to Another pile, ..... and Not fish, gas turbine generated electricity, or land fill issues, UNLESS, ...... Assemblymember John A Perez up next believes that 'Mentally Ill' youth are causing water and air pollution.

According to Geldpress.com: As of September 2008:

California was more than $65 Billion Dollars behind the 8 Ball.

(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), the Controller may
use the funds created pursuant to this part for loans to
the General Fund as provided in Sections 16310 and 16381
of the Government Code. Any such loan shall be repaid from
the General Fund with interest computed at 110 percent of
the Pooled Money Investment Account rate, with interest
commencing to accrue on the date the loan is made from the
fund. This subdivision does not authorize any transfer that
would interfere with the carrying out of the object for
which these funds were created.

A lack of Your Money Selling Psych Drugs to Children will hurt the environment.

Is This what Conservation Voters Really Want? To have their own Children sold Brain Damaging Psych Drugs, ..... to Save Trees?

For Chrissakes; Think, before you vote these people into Office.

And as for Investing in 'Mental Health' ..... whether it Saves Trees or Not, see:

People, ..... the idea is to get Rid of this Dope Deal, ..... not Refinance it, with interest.

Our solution?

TAKE the money out of those 'Mental Health' funds which Prop 1D & 1E address and apply it to California's DEBT, ..... and do not even Think of re-spending it Selling Drugs to Children.
