"Proposition A (128) would ban cancer-causing pesticides in foods, prohibit new offshore oil drilling in state waters, establish measures against global warming, and prohibit redwood tree logging. It would also create a new elective post of state environmenta; advocate to enforce this initiative. Supporters of Big Green say it is a comprehensive environmental measure. It would phase out pesticides proven to cause cancer and birth defects, phase out chemicals which damage the earth's ozone layer, and it would save billions of dollars in health care and energy costs. Opponents say the measure contains too many important issues in ome initiative and that it should be split into several measures so they can be voted on seperately. They also say the measure would cost state and local governments at least $3 billion. They remind voters that the initiative was co-authored by Tome Hayden and they say he wants the position of environmental advocate for himself. Do you support Proposition 128?
