Welcome to another episode of Propositioned - a podcast mini-series hosted by KFI's Kris Ankarlo that examines each initiative you'll see on the ballot this year. Today's episode focuses on Proposition 14 - or, as it's titled on your ballot: The California Stem Cell Research, Treatment, and Cures Initiative of 2020. This all began in 2004 when voters passed Proposition 71, which created the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) and establish a state constitutional right to conduct stem cell research. In 2019, funds designated for the research from Prop. 71 institute finally ran out. Prop. 14 aims to continue that funding for CIRM by authorizing another $5.5 billion in general obligation bonds for research into various treatment and therapies. Some of the money ($1.5 billion) will be spent on research into nervous system diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and dementia. Another 1.5% of the funds would be spent on sites dedicated to conducting human clinical trials, treatments and cures, while about 0.5% would be spent on the 'Shared Labs Program,' which are dedicated research facilities conducting research on human embryonic stem cells.In today's episode, Kris examines both sides of the argument and why funding should, or shouldn't, be expanded for this program.

Welcome to the third season of Propositioned, hosted by Kris Ankarlo. In today's episode, Kris explains the process for getting propositions on the ballot and why California is unique.

Welcome back to the Propositioned Podcast! In the final episode of this year's season, KFI's Kris Ankarlo takes a look at both sides of Prop. 12, a ballot measure that is promising to let the animals roam free. Supporters of the measure say Prop. 12 is necessary step because confining animals inside a tiny cage is cruel and threatens food safety. But opponents say the measure is a sell-out to the egg industry and betrays animals because Californians already voted to ban cages by 2015. Get both sides of the issue in the final episode of Propositioned!

On today's episode, Kris Ankarlo takes a look at both sides of Prop. 11, a ballot proposition that has the potential to upend the economics of emergency response.Supporters say Prop. 11 would ensure that EMTs and paramedics are paid to be reachable during breaks and would improve training for disasters that meet FEMA standards. Opponents say Prop. 11 isn't as straightforward as just paying EMTs on their breaks. Get the real story and learn about both sides of the issue in the latest episode of Propositioned!

In today's episode of Propositioned, KFI's Kris Ankarlo looks at Prop 10, a measure designed to give local jurisdictions more control over rent control.

Get both sides of the story in today's episode of Propositioned!

In today's episode of Propositioned, Kris Ankarlo takes a look at both sides of Proposition 8, a ballot measure that's targeting the dialysis clinic industry for exchanging blood for profits. Supporters of the ballot measure say this life-saving treatment is under threat by big corporations who make huge profits, but don't invest enough in things like basic sanitation and patient care. Opponents disagree, saying the ballot measure is nothing more than a negotiating tactic. Kris Ankarlo talks to both sides of the issue in the latest episode of Propositioned!

In today's episode of Propositioned, Kris Ankarlo takes a look at both sides of Prop 7, a ballot measure that will allow the legislature to change Daylight Saving Time by a two-thirds vote.

In today's episode of Propositioned, KFI's Kris Ankarlo takes a look at both sides of Prop 6, a ballot measure intended to repeal the SB 1 gas tax passed by the legislature late last year. If passed, Prop 6 would repeal the fuel and vehicle taxes recently passed by the legislature. It would also require any new taxes to be passed by a majority of voters to approve any new or increased fuel and vehicle taxes in the future. If Prop 6 fails, the SB 1 fuel and vehicle taxes will remain and pay for needed highway and road maintenance and repair. Take a listen to both sides of the issue in the latest episode of Propositioned!

In today's episode of Propositioned, Kris Ankarlo takes a look at Prop. 5, a ballot measure supporters say is designed to take on the affordable housing crisis here in California. If passed, Prop. 5 would give seniors 55 and older (or the severely disabled) greater freedom to move without increasing their tax bill through the elimination of the 'moving penalty' imposed by Prop. 13. Opponents call the measure a deal local governments can't afford, and wouldn't do much to end the affordable housing crisis in California. Take a listen to both sides of the issue with episode 6 of Propositioned!

On today's episode of the Propositioned podcast, Kris Ankarlo speaks to both sides of Proposition 4, a bond measure that if passed, would authorize $1.5 billion in bonds for the construction, expansion, renovation, and equipping of qualifying children's hospitals. Supporters say the measure would bring some much-needed efficiency and upgrades to children's hospitals around the state. However, opponents say borrowing more money isn't the way to help the kids. Kris Ankarlo investigates both sides of the ballot issue in the latest episode of the Propositioned podcast.

On today's episode of Propositioned, Kris Ankarlo investigates both sides of Proposition 3, a ballot measure that Proposition 3 would authorized nearly $9 billion in bonds to pay for various water infrastructure projects across the state. If passed, proponents say the state would be able to fund various water and environmental projects that would increase the reliability and capacity of drinkable water during droughts, as well as improve the water quality in our ocean, bays, and rivers. However, opponents say the bond measure is just a giveaway to lots of various organizations, and won't produce one drop of new, usable water. KFI's Kris Ankarlo examines both sides of the issue in this episode of Propositioned.

On today's episode of Propositioned, we learn about Prop 2, a ballot measure proponents say is designed to borrow money, without borrowing money. Prop 2 allows the state to issue $2 billion in already authorized bonds that will be used to build permanent supportive housing for those with mental illness who are homeless. If passed, the state will be allowed to use up to $140 million every year of county mental health funds to repay the bonds. A no vote means the state will have to turn to the courts to see if they can use existing funds to pay for housing. KFI's Kris Ankarlo explores the issues around Prop 2 in the latest episode of Propositioned!
