These preliminary positions are noted in the comments thai foIlow on the various propositions. 181 bssengerlUilard...C1ean Ajr Bond A.ct..o.Ll22A.. This le~ measure provides for the third of three SI billion general obligation bond issueo to fund the acquisition of rights-of-way, capital expenditures and rolling stock for intercity rail, commuter ml, and rail transit programs. The first Sl billion bond measure (Proposition 108) "..., appruvod by the voters in June 1990; the second (proposition 156) was "'jeded by the voters in November 1992. The Palo Alto City Council supporte<l Proposition 108; the Council took no po.:.itiQns on the 1992 b:tllot measures. As.semblyman Jim Costa, who introduced the origin3! 1egislaticn in i989 thal provided for these bond meas:ures to be pta(;ed on the ballot. was unsuccessful this. past session in enacting legislation which would !la .•• deferred the 1994 ballet me",u," to 1996 when the political and economic climate might t~ more. cmxluclve to its p;!5~age. The dderral would also ha\'~ removed the measure from .;:ompe!..ing with Proposition 185. If tpprovoo by voters, the revenu •. produced from bond sales would be allocate-d by the California Transport..ation Commis~ion through the State Tnmsportation Improvement Program (STIP) process to fund rail projects throughout the ,'tate. The following Santa Clara County piOjects are mentioned specifically in the legislation as beir'b digible to receive Proposition 18l funds: commuter rail from San Francisco to Gilroy (Caltrain); BART eldension from W .. -m Spring.< 10 San lose; light rail transit projects (Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, s.rn Jose-V"",na, &nd Slate Highway Route 237), An unOerl)1ng issue is whether the state should increase its bond deb!.

Sponsored by Philip Morris, the initiative would supercede state legislation recently enacted (AD 13, Chapter 310, Statutes of 1994) that the City lobbied long and hard for and would preempt localities frem enacting laws more rest..-ictive than Proposition 188.
