There is a dangerous measure on the June 2008 Ballot that could wipe out important laws and regulations that protect our environment.  Every leading environmental organization, including the Natural Resources Defense Council, National Wildlife Federation, Sierra Club California, California League of Conservation Voters, California Coastal Commission (read their report here) and many others are opposed to Proposition 98 - dubbed the "Hidden Agendas Schemes". The proponents want voters to believe it's about eminent domain. But a legal analysis by the respected environmental law firm of Shute, Mihaly & Weinberger has found that hidden provisions in this measure would wipe out regulations intended to protect our environment.  Specifically, the measure prohibits laws and regulations that "transfer an economic benefit to one or more private persons at the expense of the private owner."  The courts have ruled that virtually all environmental regulations and land-use decisions are likely to impose costs on the affected party, while transferring economic benefits to another private party.  Thus, the measure will gut all manner of laws and regulations that protect our environment and regulate growth and development.
