California voters to decide $7.5 billion independent science agency
Original: $7.5B plan for California science agency free from Trump’s influence will go to voters
A $7.5 billion measure to create a California state science agency will go before voters, according to Berkeleyside. The proposed agency is framed as insulated from federal influence under the Trump administration, allowing the state to continue funding scientific research independently of Washington. The plan now heads to the ballot, letting California voters decide whether to approve the funding.
Why now: Tension between state-level science funding and the Trump administration's approach to federal research is drawing attention.
