Secretary of State Bruce McPherson last week issued a press release (see attachment) listing out the ballot measures that will appear on the November ballot, along with their order and numbering.  The first group, measures 1A – 1E are all part of the Infrastructure Borrowing Package (a.k.a… the ‘even though California takes in well over $100,000,000,000.00 (that’s over a hundred BILLION) a year we are going to borrow even more money rather than (gasp!) spend 5-10% of this massive budget each year on infrastructure needs’ package).

Here they are.  Dan Weintraub of the SacBee lists them as well, with a bit more of a discription.  Of course there is more detail in the attached release.

Prop. 1A – SCA 7 Transportation Funding Protection.
Prop. 1B – SB 1266. Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006.
Prop. 1C – SB 1689. Housing and Emergency Shelter Trust Fund Act of 2006.
Prop. 1D – AB 127. Kindergarten-University Public Education Facilities Bond Act of 2006.
Prop. 1E – AB 140. Disaster Preparedness and Flood Prevention Bond Act of 2006. The $4 billion flood control bond.
Prop. 83 – Sex Offenders. Sexually Violent Predators. Punishment, Residence Restrictions and Monitoring.
Prop. 84 – Water Quality, Safety and Supply. Flood Control. Natural Resource Protection. Park Improvements.
Prop. 85 – Waiting Period and Parental Notification Before Termination of Minor’s Pregnancy.

Prop. 88 – Education Funding. Real Property Parcel Tax.
Prop. 89 – Political Campaigns. Public Financing. Corporate Tax Increase. Contribution and Expenditure Limits.
