Proposition
172(1993)
California
Governor Pete Wilson called a statewide special election in November 1993
for the express purpose of passing Proposition 172, a one and one-half
billion dollar annual state sales tax devoted to firefighters and law enforcement.
He was supported in this effort by the Democratic Speaker of the
State Assembly Willie Brown.
The
coalition organized by Forde and Mollrich included more than 100 state and
local organizations representing business, labor, teachers, seniors,
law enforcement, firefighters, ethnic communities and local
governments. Clint Eastwood
was recruited for television commercials in favor of Proposition 172.
Proposition
172 passed with a 58% YES vote.
