California voters have approved billions of dollars in bonds. Why don’t we track results?
California voters have approved over $196 billion in bonds since 2000 for infrastructure, schools, water systems, and housing. However, the state lacks consistent tracking of whether these investments achieved promised outcomes. Assembly Bill 1754 proposes requiring bond measures to define objectives, measure progress, and publicly report results.
