MICHAEL TWEEDY Yakima, Wash., June 4, 2012 To the Editor: It's not only liberals who are outraged by the Mormon Church's financing of Proposition 8 in California, the 2008 ban on same-sex marriage.
Under Brown's revised spending plan, public schools and community colleges can attribute much of their improved finances to Proposition 98, a 1988 voter-approved constitutional amendment that guarantees them the largest portion of state money.

"Our resilient cash flows, improving financial position and secure longer term financing underpin the value proposition of the business," said Bailey.
Supporters of Proposition 23, financed almost entirely by oil companies, call AB 32 a job-killer, arguing that California can't afford such environmental protection just now.
After his campaign for a proposition to finance state-run preschools went down in defeat in 2006, Mr. Reiner retreated from politics.
As noted by the United States House Science Subcommittee on Space, three things in particular make space exploration and development a not-so-attractive proposition: lack of financing for new ventures on a mass scale, lack of secured insurance and an inability to forge self-sustaining commercial markets.
The legal challenge says that a law signed by Brown in September that allows cities and counties to use public financing for political campaigns violates Proposition 73, which voters approved in 1988 and prohibits public funds from being used in campaigns.
Proposition 36 was financed by three businessmen: George Soros, the New York investment billionaire; Peter Lewis, chief executive officer of Progressive Insurance in Cleveland; and John Sperling, the founder and chief executive officer of the University of Phoenix, a network of private educational institutions.
