Vote No on Proposition 6!
ACEC California continues to work with the No on Prop 6. Coalition to defeat Prop. 6. If Prop. 6 passes, it would eliminate funding for more than 6,500 projects currently underway across California. Additionally, it would eliminate 68,000 well-paying jobs and $183 billion in economic investments as thousands of road construction projects would come to a stop. Prop. 6 is also opposed by California Firefighters, California Association of Highway Patrolmen, the American Society of Civil Engineers, and engineering groups like ours. In addition, many Sierra Chapter member firms have donated to the campaign.
It’s hard to overstate how destructive Proposition 6 would be for California. It would eliminate $5 billion a year from the state budget, wiping out funds that could be used to fill potholes on local streets, smooth highways and stabilize bridges. It would cancel funding for highway and rail projects designed to move cargo more cleanly and efficiently, hurting the state’s vital freight industry. It would slash money for light rail lines and commuter rail service, meaning fewer trains for people trying to get to work. – Los Angeles Time, September 22, 2018
