California Republican Party Opposes Proposition 93
The Republican Party of Orange County regularly solicits the views and news of the state and federal delegation. These recommendations come from the California Republican Party
California Republican Party Chairman Ron Nehring issued the following statement regarding Proposition 93 - Term Limits on Legislators:
"The California Republican Party opposes Proposition 93, the February 5th initiative to extend term limits for California legislators led by Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez (D-Los Angeles) and President Pro Tem Don Perata (D-Oakland).
"Proposition 93 is a self-serving measure, authored by a small group of state legislators seeking to extend their terms in office beyond the limits set by voters in Proposition 140. It purports to ‘strengthen' term limits while allowing dozens of termed out politicians, who would otherwise have to retire this year, to spend many more years in office. For example, Senate President Don Perata could serve until 2012, and Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez until 2014.
"The California Republican Party is joined in its principled opposition to Proposition 93 by 18 different newspaper editorial boards from around California. These editorial boards reflect the broad spectrum of political thought, from liberal to conservative, yet they stand together in opposition to the Proposition 93 scheme.
"Reforming the state legislature continues to be an important priority for the state Republican Party, with competitive districts and legislators frequently returning to the private sector to live under the laws they impose on their fellow Californians.
"We urge all Californians to oppose Proposition 93."
