California Democrats 'playing dirty tricks' to keep Prop 47 reform off ballot, GOP leader says
Fox News
California Republicans are blaming Democrats for trying to prevent an amendment to Proposition 47, a voter-approved measure.

However, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and some elected Democrats don't support the effort and are pushing some public safety bills circulating through the state Capitol that attempt to address organized retail theft, car break-ins and other crimes. They prefer those bills go before voters instead of the Prop 47 reform measure.
Some Democrats plan to introduce inoperability clauses into the set of proposed public safety bills to prevent them from going into effect if voters approve the Prop 47 reforms. They contend that it's a way to ensure there aren't any inconsistencies in the law.
