The State - News from March 25, 1988

A top official of the California Medical Assn.’s political action committee acknowledged that the committee opposes two campaign finance reform measures on the June ballot, despite the fact that it gave $25,000 to help place one of them before the voters. Al Pross, executive director of the 10,000-member committee, said the association decided to contribute to one measure that would prohibit public campaign financing because it is a lesser evil than the other initiative, which calls for it. If one of the ballot propositions has to pass, Pross said the CMA committee “would prefer” it to be Proposition 73 rather than Proposition 68.
