The December 1998 issue explains how to calculate new retirement benefits in the State Teachers' Retirement System, how the changes affect all faculties, andwho faculty should thank for the improvements. Faculty member Carolyn Russell gives a first-person account about the grassroots efforts that successfully convinced state legislators to pass the retirement package. The February 1999 issue features Assemblywomen Gloria Romero and Charlene Zettel and their commitment to helping community colleges receive the funding they need to do their jobs well. It also provides a list of legislators and their primary community college districts.

  • Open Primaries and Top Two Elections: Proposition 14 on California’S June 2010 Ballot
    Open Primaries and Top Two Elections: Proposition 14 on California’s June 2010 Ballot by Molly Milligan OPEN PRIMARIES AND TOP TWO ELECTIONS: PROPOSITION 14 ON CALIFORNIA’S JUNE 2010 BALLOT By Molly Milligan Center for Governmental Studies ForewordForewordForeword The Center for Governmental Studies (CGS) has studied California governance issues for more than 25 years. This study, “Open Primaries and Top Two Elections: Proposition 14 on California’s June 2010 Ballot,” began shortly after its provisions were passed by the Legislature as part of the budget deal on February 20, 2009. In a compromise that broke a stalemate that had persisted for six months, the Legislature gained the vote of Republican Senator Abel Maldonado to pass the budget (needed to achieve a two-thirds majority) in exchange for placing his proposal to change the election system in California on the June 2010 ballot. Maldonado’s proposal is now known as Proposition 14. It would require the use of open primaries in elections for state and most federal officials. Under such a system, a voter can vote for any candidate running for a particular office regardless of his or her party affiliation or that of the candidates; the top two vote getters in the primary, and no other candidates, contest a general election run off to determine the winner of each seat. CGS examined the possible electoral outcomes under such a system, using voter registration and participation data, and campaign finance information. We believe our study provides a fascinating snapshot of California voters in 2010 and presents valuable information to help voters determine how to vote on this important issue.
