Prop 47 co-author George Gascon doubles down on controversial legislation live on FOX 11
- Proposition 47 is a California ballot measure that changed the classification of some nonviolent property and drug offenses from felonies to misdemeanors. It also increased the threshold for theft misdemeanors from $450 to $950.
- Critics argue that Proposition 47 led to an increase in total drug use, open air drug use, a decrease in drug court participation, and an increase in property crime.
- George Gascon, the District Attorney of Los Angeles county and co-author of Prop 47, maintains his support for the proposition. He believes that it has successfully redirected resources to drug addiction treatment instead of imprisonment.

- Opponents contend that rodeos hold deep-rooted traditions and enjoy widespread popularity. They further caution against government overreach, expressing concerns that the bans, if implemented, could lead to a loss of economic activity.
