Follow the Money
Polluting industries, for-profit utilities, and luxury developers are spending millions to pass this initiative to increase their profits — while the rest of us pay.
They Pollute.You Pay.
This corporate-backed ballot measure rolls back critical public health and environmental protections, and drives up costs for taxpayers.Vote No on the CalChamber Initiative.
What's at stake
Three reasons to vote no.
Less Accountability = Higher Taxpayer Costs
This initiative lets deep-pocketed developers call the shots. With no way to force industries to prevent pollution, taxpayers will have to pay to clean up their mess.
Clean Water & Clean Air at Risk
This initiative makes it easier for industry to pollute with little oversight, and makes it harder for communities to improve harmful projects.
Covered projects
This initiative allows developers to call the shots on a wide range of consequential projects with little input from the public.
Covered projects could include:
- Data centers
- Freeway expansions
- Dairy biogas digesters
- Landfill gas facilities
- Biomass power plants
- Dams
- Waste incinerators
- CO₂ pipelines
