$7.5 billion California science funding measure heads to voters

Original: $7.5B plan for California science agency free from Trump’s influence will go to voters

California will put a $7.5 billion bond measure before voters to fund an independent state science agency designed to operate free from federal political influence under the Trump administration. The proposal, reported by LAist and Berkeleyside, reflects state Democrats' efforts to shield scientific research funding from Washington's policy shifts.

Why now: States are moving to protect science funding from Trump administration policies, making this ballot measure a notable test of that pushback
