Proposition 13 Would Bar Private Lottery in California
In Sacramento California a heated ballot fight pits Proposition 16 proposing a private statewide lottery against Proposition 13 a constitutional bar on naming private firms. Proponents warn of millions in profits for private promoters if 16 passes while opponents say 13 blocks the initiative route and could render 16 academic if 13 fails. Debate includes criticisms of columnist Rafferty and assertions about a nonexistent psychological test, with lawmakers trading accusations over truth and intent.
