California voters to decide $7.5 billion independent science agency plan
Original: $7.5B plan for California science agency free from Trump's influence will go to voters
A $7.5 billion proposal to fund a California state science agency operating independently of federal influence under President Trump is headed to statewide voters. The measure would dedicate billions to scientific research in the nation's most populous state, and its placement on the ballot puts the future of the plan directly in voters' hands amid ongoing state-federal tensions over science funding.
Why now: California is pushing back against Trump administration science policies with a major ballot measure
