Propositions on AIDS

Nonpartisan political analysts estimate the price of Proposition 102 would cost California taxpayers up to $1.7 billion to implement in its first year alone. In addition are court challenges to possibly many of its unconstitutional provisions and the public health costs of many persons with AIDS whose private insurance would be cancelled.

Your taxes increased? You bet! Money could be taken from vital research for a preventive vaccine or cure. AIDS education would suffer and this would affect many of our young people who need it most.

Proposition 102 would destroy current constructive state AIDS policies. It is unsound. JOHN GRIMM
