“Sufficiency” means adequate access to income and other resources that enable people to meet their basic needs, including nutrition, clothing, housing, health care, personal development, and participation in community with dignity. God has created a world of sufficiency for all, providing us daily and abundantly with all the necessities of life. Sufficient, Sustainable Livelihood for All p. 9.

Increases the Budget Stabilization Account (BSA) cap from 10% of general fund revenue to 20% of general fund revenue.

Prop 30 in 2012 and Prop 55 in 2016, which LOPP-CA supported, did not contain threshold or inflation adjustment mechanisms. The proposed initiative increases the threshold and ties it to inflation. Sufficient, Sustainable Livelihood for All supports a yes vote: “we call for... policies that support strong schools” p. 8.

Repeals the 1988 ban on campaign public financing. Allows state and local governments to create programs that provide candidates with public funds within spending limits and eligibility rules.

Eliminates the simultaneous election of a successor when a state officer is recalled, thereby leaving the office vacant until it is filled according to state law.
“Government may often seek its own advantage or that of its most influential constituencies at the expense of many of its people” Faith and Civic Life p. 39. This measure changes the state’s recall process so that recalls are less politically motivated in favor of one party over the other.

“[G]overnment becomes oppressive when its goals, policies, and programs are designed or transformed into vehicles for oppressing the neighbor—such as voter suppression laws or gerrymandering. Civic participation cannot be fully realized without confronting the structural barriers that limit access for many. These barriers, which function to silence voices and restrict public engagement, disproportionately affect already marginalized communities and contradict both democratic ideals and the biblical call to seek justice.” Faith and Civic Life, p. 65.

Requires pre-election audits for ballot initiatives proposing special taxes. The audit would take place once proponents report collecting 25% of the signatures required to qualify for the ballot, and the results would be included in the voter information pamphlet if the initiative qualifies. State audits would then be conducted every four years to assess program effectiveness and identify cost-saving measures.
Audit costs are currently unknown, and limiting the legislature’s ability to levy taxes through audits would hinder good governance. ELCA social statement, Sufficient, Sustainable Livelihood for All states: “Paying taxes to enable government to carry out these and other purposes is an appropriate expression of our stewardship in society, rather than something to be avoided” p. 11.

Requires a two-thirds vote by the electorate to enact, extend, or increase local special tax initiatives. It would also prohibit local jurisdictions and ballot initiatives from enacting ad valorem property taxes. Restores Prop 13.
