The LA Times is reporting that the California State Senate voted 18-14 on a resolution opposing Proposition. State Senator Mark Leno called the measure an improper revision to the state Constitution because it was not approved by the Legislature.
From the story:Â Â
Sen. Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) said the initiative is a fundamental revision to the document, not an amendment, and therefore required deliberation by the Legislature and a two-thirds vote of both houses to put it on the ballot.
“Do we have a constitutional democracy in California, or do we have mob rule?” Leno asked his colleagues before the 18-14 vote approved the resolution.
