2010 CalChamber Business Summit
May 17-18, 2010 - Sacramento, California |
Your leadership can make a difference. Stay informed to help guide California toward recovery.
Never has our business climate been more important to the future of California than now. Business leadership can truly make a difference in improving our economy and creating jobs. Policy makers say they understand the need for "jobs, jobs, jobs." Too many elected officials, however, continue to need strong reminders that they need to realistically assess the impact of proposals on the private sector.

Chamber Urges Support for Prop. 16
Taxpayers Right to Vote Act on June Ballot |
The California Chamber of Commerce is a strong supporter of Proposition 16, The Taxpayers Right to Vote Act, and is asking local chambers of commerce and other members to endorse this important measure on the June ballot.
This initiative simply requires that voters have the final say if a local government chooses to spend public money or incur public debt to create a government-run electricity business. Like most other local special tax and bond decisions in California, a two-thirds vote would be required.
