Long Beach could back statewide ballot measure that amends controversial Prop. 47
Proposition 36 would amend some parts of Proposition 47, which classified drug possession and thefts under $950 as misdemeanors.
The Long Beach City Council is being asked to support two statewide ballot measures that could change when people are charged with felonies for theft and drug possession and generate billions of dollars through bond proceeds to pay for environmental projects.
