Balance
editIf there are concerns about neutrality/due weight, perhaps it would make sense to create two new sections, one describing support of the ballot measure and the other describing opposition? There is quite a bit of reporting on this already, and there will only be more as the election approaches. This way it would be easier to give readers balanced information based on what different sources say about the measure. Red Rock Canyon (talk) 00:55, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
Vague
edit"State transportation infrastructure receives roughly half of the SB1 funding." This statement is not vague in any way. The entire article so far has been about SB1. The second sentence says this: "The ballot measure proposes to repeal the Road Repair and Accountability Act (a fuel tax), which is also known as Senate Bill 1 (SB 1)." Thus defining SB 1. The paragraph of the sentence in question starts with "This bill aims to invest $5.4 billion annually in California's transportation systems." Thus defining "funding". Anyone who is capable of reading this far into the article will understand exactly what the sentence in question means and what its referents are. Nothing is left vague.

Biased representation
editStating that the bill was passed by 2/3 in both houses is misleading. Only one Republican (in the Senate) voted in favor of it while only two Democrats (one in each house) voted against. The breakdown of votes by party can be sourced at Ballotpedia [1].
The current version of this article states that the opposition to the repeal has raised $3.2 million as of July 2018. However, the Sacramento Bee ([2]) reported that as of July 2018, the opposition had raised $12 million. To be fair, it should be stated how much money supporters from both sides have raised, or leave this detail out.
