Proposition 1A
Summary of Legislative Analyst’s Estimate of Net State and Local 
Government Fiscal Impact

    * Higher state tax revenues of roughly $16 billion from 2010‑11
      through 2012‑13 to help balance the state budget.
    * In many years, increased amounts of money in state “rainy day”
      reserve fund.
    * Potentially less ups and downs in state spending over time.
    * Possible greater state spending on repaying budgetary borrowing
      and debt, infrastructure projects, and temporary tax relief. In
      some cases, this would mean less money available for ongoing spending.


          Ballot Label

*Fiscal Impact*: Higher state tax revenues of roughly $16 billion from 
2010‑11 through 2012‑13. Over time, increased amounts of money in state 
rainy day reserve and potentially less ups and downs in state spending

Proposition 1B


          Summary of Legislative Analyst’s Estimate of Net State and
          Local Government Fiscal Impact

    * Fiscal impact would depend on how current constitutional
      provisions would otherwise be interpreted.
    * Potential state savings of up to several billion dollars in
      2009‑10 and 2010‑11.
    * Potential state costs of billions of dollars annually thereafter.

Proposition 1C
Summary of Legislative Analyst’s Estimate of Net State and Local 
Government Fiscal Impact

    * */Impact on 2009‑10 State Budget./* Allows $5 billion of borrowing
      from future lottery profits to help balance the 2009‑10 state budget.
    * */Impact on Future State Budgets./* Debt-service payments on the
      lottery borrowing and higher payments to education would likely
      make it more difficult to balance future state budgets. This
      impact would be lessened by potentially higher lottery profits.
      Additional lottery borrowing would be allowed.


          Ballot Label

*Fiscal Impact*: Allows $5 billion of borrowing from future lottery 
profits to help balance the 2009‑10 state budget. Debt-service payments 
on this borrowing and higher payments to education would likely make it 
more difficult to balance future state budgets.
