California's Proposition 47 reform initiative, championed by Kevin Kiley, has officially qualified for the November ballot, despite efforts by Governor Gavin Newsom and other politicians to block it. The initiative aims to address issues related to crime and public safety, including tougher penalties for repeat thieves and new felonies for drug dealers who cut fentanyl into other drugs. In response, California lawmakers have removed controversial 'poison pill' amendments from retail theft bills that would have negated these laws if the Prop 47 reform passed. Additionally, a competing crime-related ballot initiative proposed by Governor Newsom has been finalized and will appear on the ballot as Proposition 2. This measure, designated as the first on the ballot, is seen as an attempt to counter the Prop 47 reform initiative.

Hours after he gave up on “poison pill” amendments, he’s placing a deceptive “competing” measure (Prop 2) on the ballot. Don’t be fooled. NEVER vote 4 Newsom! https://t.co/osNaCZHA7B
