Groups supporting proposition:

YES:
1) California Chamber of Commerce: Requiring a vote will help to ensure the risky choice to create a government-run electricity business gets the public discussion it deserves.
2) Sacramento public relations: Why shouldn't the people who are going to pay the bill have the right to vote on that?
3) California Taxpayers’ Association: Voters should have the right to decide.
4) California Chamber of Commerce and Pacific Gas and Electric Company: Opportunity for public to get involved and have a voice in local governments.


NO:
1) Sierra Club: Proposition 16 requires a two thirds super majority vote before any community can purchase clean power and other power at competitive prices.
2) Consumer Federation of California: Just like Wall Street, PG & E had to pay big bonuses to its executives, even after it had gone bankrupt.
3) League of Women Voters of California: They want for people to compete for their own service, local non-profit utilities.
