A freeze to the state’s Motor Voter program is 'certainly on the table,' Padilla said at a news conference on Tuesday."

San Diego, CALIF.- The newly implemented Motor Voter program is becoming a liability for Secretary of State Alex Padilla. IVN.us was the first media outlet to report on the Motor Voter registration concerns.

San Diego, CA.- Prop. 10 is developing into a huge battle as rent control advocates and those opposed dig in their heels. Since 1995, under the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, Californians who rent apartments, single-family homes or condominiums have had limited protections from rising prices. That could change if voters pass Proposition 10 in November. The ballot measure would let cities and counties expand or enact rent control by overturning the 1995 law.
