Here is the introductory message from the Sectretary of State:

Dear Voter:

   This is your California Ballot Pamphlet containing information
regarding the statewide general election on November 8, 1994.
Ballot measure titles and summaries for this ballot pamphlet were
prepared by the Office of Attorney General Daniel E. Lungren. The
impartial analyses of the measures, an overview of the state bond
debt and the explanations of "Yes" and "No" votes were prepared
by the Office of Legislative Analyst Elizabeth G. Hill. The pro
and con arguments and rebuttals were prepared by proponents and
opponents of the propositions. The texts of the propositions were
proofed by the Office of Legislative Counsel Bion M. Gregory. The
candidate statements and photographs were prepared by the
candidates. The printing was done under the supervision of State
Printer Celeste Maia Cron.

   All of those involved in the preparation of this pamphlet are
constantly looking for ways to make the California Ballot
Pamphlet better. Many suggestions made by voters have been put to
use in this pamphlet. New features this election include expanded
statements from candidates for statewide office, an explanation
of the job duties of each office, and an explanation of the
electoral procedure for justices of the Supreme Court and courts
of appeal. We hope these features prove useful and informative as
you make your choices in this general election. We invite you to
send your comments, suggestions, and new ideas for possible
inclusion in future ballot pamphlets. Send your ideas to
California Ballot Pamphlet, 1230 J Street, Sacramento, California
95814.

   Please vote on November 8!

   

Please note that Proposition 181 is the first proposition for
this election. To avoid confusion with past measures, the
Legislature passed a law which requires propositions to be
numbered consecutively starting with the next number after those
used in the November 1982 General Election. This numbering scheme
runs in twenty-year cycles.
