CA Choices Reform Clearinghouse www.CaliforniaChoices.org (February 2010) From Next 10 and Stanford’s Bill Lane Center “One stop shop” about CA governance reforms to help people understand the issues & options Organized to help policy enthusiasts, general voters and community educators Nonpartisan reform descriptions, pros/cons, polling data, expert blog, links to reports, etc.
