Term limits tweak favored, but cigarette tax not as much

Two weeks before the June 5 primary, support for a measure to alter legislative term limits remains strong, while support for a measure adding a $1 tax on every package of cigarettes has declined. A Public Policy Institute of California poll shows that nearly two-thirds of voters favor Proposition 28, the term limits initiative. Proposition 29 is supported by 53 percent of voters, but that’s down from 67 percent in March, following heavy advertising by the tobacco industry.
