TO: CVF-NEWS FROM: Kim Alexander, CVF President DATE: March 2, 2002 RE: Top Ten Donors to CA Propositions now online
Hi Folks,
The California Voter Foundation's ever-popular lists of the Top Ten Donors for and against California propositions are now available online at http://www.calvoter.org.
The lists feature total amounts raised and spent by each side, and the top ten donors to each side as of February 16. Many campaigns have received large contributions since then, and we are working on an update that includes these donations, which should be available on our site on Monday.
There are six propositions on the ballot statewide -- funds are being raised and spent on four of them, Props. 40 (park and water bond act), 41 (voting equipment bond act), 42 (transportation tax use) and 45 (term limits). Below are summary figures and short lists of the top three donors for and against these measures.
