加州第45号提案被否决 约56%选民反对改写环评法
美联社11月7日晚间确认，加利福尼亚州选民否决了第45号提案，即加州商会支持的改写《加州环境质量法》的动议。
美联社于当天下午5时34分作出这一判断，当时约76%的预期选票已经清点。连夜汇总的非官方全州数据显示，反对票为5,533,894张、占55.7%，赞成票为4,396,414张、占44.3%，反对一方领先约110万票，剩余选票的清点仍在继续。
第45号提案由加州商会发起，拟对住房、交通、水利与卫生等指定类别项目实行365天完成环境审查的时限，并要求法院在270天内审结相关诉讼。加州民主党支持投反对票，加州共和党支持该提案，州长加文·纽森与当选州长泽维尔·贝塞拉均未表态，共和党州长候选人史蒂夫·希尔顿也保持沉默。
在旧金山，反对更为坚决：当地选举部门周六的报告显示，184,338票、即59.9%反对，123,274票、即40.1%赞成，约15,000张本地选票尚待清点。提案被否决后，现行环评法继续有效，支持与反对双方均表示，下一轮关于环评改革的较量将转向州议会。

California Voters Reject Proposition 45 to Rewrite State Environmental Review Law
The Associated Press confirmed on the evening of November 7 that California voters rejected Proposition 45, the Chamber of Commerce-backed measure to rewrite the California Environmental Quality Act.
The AP made the call at 5:34 p.m. with about 76 percent of the expected vote counted. Unofficial statewide totals compiled overnight showed 5,533,894 votes against, or 55.7 percent, and 4,396,414 in favor, or 44.3 percent — a margin of roughly 1.1 million votes, with counting continuing.
Proposition 45, placed on the ballot by the California Chamber of Commerce, would have imposed a 365-day deadline for environmental reviews of designated housing, transportation, water and health projects and required courts to resolve related lawsuits within 270 days. The California Democratic Party backed a "no" vote and the state Republican Party supported the measure; Governor Gavin Newsom and Governor-elect Xavier Becerra took no position, and Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton also stayed silent.
Opposition ran stronger in San Francisco, where election officials reported Saturday that 184,338 voters, or 59.9 percent, voted no and 123,274, or 40.1 percent, voted yes, with about 15,000 local ballots left to count. With the measure defeated, the existing environmental review law stays in place, and both sides said the next round of the CEQA reform fight will move to the state Legislature.
