Proposition 98 Government Acquisition, Regulation of Private Property
Fail: 1,652,188 / 38.5% Yes votes ...... 2,643,987 / 61.5% No votes

Bars state and local governments from condemning or damaging private property for private uses. Prohibits rent control and similar measures. Prohibits deference to government in property rights cases. Defines "just compensation." Requires an award of attorneys fees and costs if a property owner obtains a judgment for more than the amount offered by the government. Requires government to offer to original owner of condemned property the right to repurchase property at condemned price when property is put to substantially different use than was publicly stated. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Increased costs to many governments due to the measure's restrictions. The fiscal effect on most governments probably would not be significant.

Proposition 99 Eminent Domain. Acquisition of Owner-Occupied Residence
Pass: 2,645,761 / 62.0% Yes votes ...... 1,620,903 / 38.0% No votes

Bars state and local governments from using eminent domain to acquire an owner-occupied residence, as defined, for conveyance to a private person or business entity. Creates exceptions for public work or improvement, public health and safety protection, and crime prevention. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: The measure would likely not have a significant fiscal impact on state or local governments.

Measure H Temporary Emergency 4-Year Parcel Tax -- Alameda Unified School District (2/3 Approval Required)
Pass: 11445 / 66.90% Yes votes ...... 5663 / 33.10% No votes

To offset severe state budget cuts to Alameda schools, minimize school closures, and protect the quality of education, student safety, class sizes, excellent teachers and staff and to restore prioritized cuts to music, athletics, advanced placement courses, shall Alameda Unified School District levy a temporary, 4-year emergency tax of $120 per residential parcel and 15 cents per square foot for commercial/industrial parcels (see the voter pamphlet), with exemptions for seniors, citizen oversight and all funds staying local?

Measure J Telephone Utility User Tax Modernization -- City of Oakland (Majority Approval Required)
Pass: 44694 / 79.59% Yes votes ...... 11460 / 20.41% No votes
