However, the title and summary of Proposition 6 on the official ballot reads: “Eliminates Certain Road Repair and Transportation Funding. Requires Certain Fuel Taxes and Vehicle Fees Be Approved by the Electorate. Initiative Constitutional Amendment.”
According to DeMaio, “Sacramento politicians think they are being clever by deceiving voters with a misleading ballot title on Prop 6.” He warned that they will lose their offices next year of the ballot measure does not pass.
The Yes of Proposition 6 Campaign Committee already filed a petition with the California Secretary of State’s Office to recall Becerra.
“This ain’t over on Election Day if they steal the election. We’ve only just begun,” said DeMaio to reporters at the state Capitol.
Becerra’s reaction
On the other hand, Becerra explained that the courts ruled on his favor on another gas tax repeal measure with a similar title but failed to qualify. He said, “I’m doing my job. I’m not going to stop.”
Becerra is expected to be re-elected in his position as state attorney general next Tuesday, November 6.
