The issue being argued in this proposition is to require a two-thirds voter approval before local governments can give electricity service to new customers or communities by using the publics funds (taxes paid by the public). Also this would not allow local governments establish a Community Choice Aggregation program (allows government to add more consumers to secure more energy contracts ), use the publics funding to create a plan to become a CCA provider, and expand electric service to new areas.
A Yes vote on propositions 16 would mean that local governments would have to recieve a two-thirds approval before they could begin a new electricity services or expand service to new territories. This will inform Californians what their tax money is used for and how the state government is using their funds to start up new electrical projects if a two-thirds vote is passed. How ever this limits their choices of who serves them their electricity.
A NO vote means that local governments will continue to create proposals to begin or expand electric services by majority of voters or by government decision. This becomes an issue because it leaves the government with complete control of the funds and allows them to spend freely without Californians knowing how it is being consumed. However this allows the government to create new electric services that will lead to future benefits by covering huge areas, which in return means big profits for the state. Also this means more choices for the people, and doesnt allow the electric company (PG&E) to have complete control and allow to raise prices. The reason they would be able to do this is because they would not have any competition and would try to protect their monopoly.
