$7.5 Billion California Science Agency Plan Heads to Voters
Original: $7.5B California Science Agency Plan Free From Trump’s Influence Will Go to Voters
California is moving forward with a $7.5 billion plan to fund a new science agency, designed to operate independently of the Trump administration, which will be put before voters in a statewide ballot. The proposal would dedicate substantial state funding to scientific research at a time when federal science budgets and agencies face cuts and political pressure under the Trump administration. Backers frame it as a way to insulate science funding in the state from federal politics.
Why now: Supporters and officials are pushing the measure as a response to federal science funding cuts and political interference under the Trump administration.
