Residents overwhelmingly passed Prop 36 — but you wouldn’t know it if you looked at our streets today. Rather than carry out the will of the voters, Sacramento has refused to fund the measure, effectively setting it up to fail. That’s not what the people voted for — and it’s not a decision lawmakers should get to make after the fact. When voters approve a measure, implementation isn’t optional. Budgets are a reflection of our values. And if we’re not willing to prioritize public safety, treatment, and accountability with real dollars, then we’re choosing dysfunction over results.
