A group opposing Proposition 1 is going back on their concession, after announcing yesterday the measure was likely going to pass.
Californians Against Prop 1 issued a statement Tuesday saying, "We almost took down the bear, but it looks like we will fall short. Today, as the principal opponents of Proposition 1, we concede that it is almost certain to pass."Prop 1, backed by Governor Gavin Newsom, is aimed at tackling homelessness and mental health.The highly anticipated results are still too close to call, with less than 1% margin.
In early March, Newsom touted the expected success of Prop 1, saying the goal is to address homelessness and fix the broken mental health system by authorizing $6.4 billion in bonds to move people off the street and into permanent housing."This was bipartisan in the senate," he said at a press conference.However, the results reveal mental health advocates are split, and so are voters on either side of the aisle.
