The San Jose Merky News had one or two articles on this in the last week
or two.  I do not remember the details, but you are right in that the
proponents of 174 are being outspent by the opponents.  I THINK it was
about 1 million to 9 million, but I could have the units wrong.
The vast majority of the anti-174 money was coming from teacher's unions
and PTA organizations.  I don't remember where the pro-174 money was
coming from.

Also, the pro-174 groups seem to be having some internal arguments.
The Merky said that one particular Catholic publication had a strong
statement in favor of 174 on one page, and a weak statement against
174 on a different page.

All this is from memory.
