State Libertarians also back Proposition 36, which requires probation and drug treatment instead of incarceration for nonviolent drug law offenders. Until that happens, Prop. 36 will reduce prison overcrowding, save state taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars per year, and probably save lives as well. Also receiving the Libertarian endorsement is Proposition 37, which would redefine certain fees as taxes. Proposition 35, which would ease rules on private contracting, also wins an endorsement from Libertarians. Public contractors oppose Prop. 35 for fear of losing their jobs.
Bonds are the most expensive way to finance projects.
Voters defeated Prop. 26 in March. Proposition 34, which would impose campaign contribution limits, also gets a thumbs-down from Libertarians. Libertarians accept no restrictions on political speech, no exceptions.
