Non-Environmental: State (California)
Manuscripts
This subseries comprises materials from a number of gubernatorial administrations and correspondence with state representatives. The section dealing with legislation focuses on reforms proposed by the California Citizens Budget Commission (CCBC) and California Commission on Campaign Financing (CCCF), both of which counted Wheat as an active member. The materials related to these commissions are arranged alphabetical by subject: Budget (CCBC) Campaign Finance Reform (CCCF) Counties (CCBC) (one folder) Healthcare (CCBC) Initiative Reform (CCCF) Judicial Reform (CCCF) [Downloads of some of the Commission (CCCF and CCBC) reports can be accessed from the Center for Governmental Studies website: http://www.cgs.org/publications/books.html#campaign (a/o August, 2005)] Frank Wheat was a founding member of the California Commission on Campaign Financing (CCCF), a privately funded, bipartisan citizens' panel of leaders that in 1985 released a 353-page study of the influence of money on legislative election campaigns. The arrangement begins with CCCF articles, administrative and meeting materials arranged chronologically, followed by files about Taxpayers to Limit Campaign Spending, an off-shoot of CCCF which sponsored Proposition 68, based on recommendations in the appendices of CCCF's 1985 study. The saga of the Proposition 68 and 73 campaigns, the voters' responses, and the legal actions that followed, are also present, arranged in chronological order. Other documents dealing with campaign finance reform and related materials follow, including CCCF materials connected to their reports on campaign finance reform for judicial and local elections, and on behalf of reforming the initiative process in California.
