  • The powerful health care interests who put Proposition 35 on the ballot last November had a simple pitch for the complex initiative: a tax no voter paid would provide a long-awaited pay bump to doctors and hospitals who serve the state's lowest-income residents.

The article from Politico's California Playbook PM discusses the ongoing debate and uncertainty surrounding Proposition 35, which was passed by California voters to increase the salaries of state legislators.
