Voting is split on big California bond measures
SACRAMENTO, Calif._High-profile ballot measures to expand rent control on apartments and roll back recent taxes on gasoline failed to win support in early California election returns Tuesday, while voters authorized billions of dollars in new borrowing and possibly paved the way for year-round daylight saving time.
In vote tallies reported through early Wednesday, a majority of the 11 statewide propositions appeared headed for passage. A few tight contests may not be decided for several days. Under state law, none of the proposed laws can take effect until election results are certified early next month.
