Constitutional Convention effort starts 2010 with a bang

On the same day, the San Francisco Chronicle ran an extensive Opinion Editorial, Californians have the opportunity to fix state, by John Grubb, former Council EVP and current Campaign Director for Repair California.

In late December, the Attorney General issued Title and Summary for the Constitutional Convention ballot measures.  This development moves the campaign into its next phase: Statewide signature gathering.  Repair California has until April to collect approximately 1.4 million signatures.  The Bay Area Council continues to support the cause – and was recently given a nod for our efforts in addressing the major concerns of our state when Jim Wunderman was named “California’s Person of the Year” by California politics observer Joe Matthews.

You can access the Title and Summary for the measures below:

Prop 1: “Allows voters to place question of calling a constitutional convention on the ballot.”

Prop 2: “Calls a limited convention to propose changes to state constitution.”
