Alexiev points out that California's Proposition 23 on the 2010 November ballot was designed by to temporarily stop implementation of "the Global Solutions Act" (AB32) which was signed into law in 2006. The law has come under scrutiny by public policy experts, who warn that the California economic crisis will be worsened by massive job losses created if the legislation is allowed to be implemented during a time of budget cuts, layoffs and fiscal crisis.

Jesse Marquez counters the negative claims that (AB32) will be harmful and urges Proposition 23 to be defeated so that the new law can be implemented immediately to stop global warming and other public health related problems.
