Voters should be given the opportunity to vote again with the accurate cost figures and knowledge that California taxpayers will be footing the entire bill.

We could invest in all of it if corporations and wealthy people would pay their fair share in taxes, and if Prop 13 would be overturned so all Californians would pay their fair share. We are all in this together, right?
