Proposition 14: Stem cell research

John and Ken will invite every proponent or opponent of every CA proposition on the 2020 ballot.

Let's start with Proposition 14, the Stem Cell Research Bond Initiative.

This from the CA Secretary of State website:

Authorizes $5.5 billion state bonds for: stem cell and other medical research, including training; research facility construction; administrative costs. Dedicates $1.5 billion to brain-related diseases. Appropriates General Fund moneys for repayment. Expands related programs. Fiscal Impact: Increased state costs to repay bonds estimated at about $260 million per year over the next roughly 30 years.

Hmmmm, more bonds....

The John & Ken voter guide says no, but you can hear from both sides below.
