Brown setback for Brown Chavez as Prop 14 fails
California voters rejected Prop 14 by 39 to 61 percent, halting a bid to re enact the 1975 Agriculture Labor Relations Act. Prop 13 boosting greyhound betting failed by a wide margin, while Prop 2 narrowly approved bonds for coastal park lands and Prop 5 failed. Chavez cited a growers led campaign and access rule as key factors. Brown called the defeat a learning moment for both sides.
