Listen to this note:
March 5, 2024 was the date when California voters came close to tying the decision on whether to approve a measure involving the spending of six billion dollars. In reality, it took a couple of days, as the votes were close enough that it would take almost a week after the election to determine whether the measure would pass or not.
One of the key propositions on the March ballot was California Proposition 1, the Mental Health Services Program and Bond Measure. It asked voters whether to take money from county budgets and put that money toward mental health and homeless support.
After careful recounting, California Proposition 1 was approved by voters.
