• Verdict on the claim

  Call: Missing context

  A suspension of a rainy day fund deposit of more than $5 billion is in the record: the Legislative Analyst's review of the Governor's May Revision reports a suspended deposit of $5.4 billion, and the Assembly Budget Committee's June 27, 2026 floor report says the 2025-26 "true up" deposits to the rainy day fund remain suspended as Proposition 2 of 2014 allows in specific circumstances. ACA 20, which became Proposition 2, passed its final Senate vote and was chaptered on June 25, 2026. The record does not show a single vote to suspend the deposits within 24 hours of placing the measure on the ballot: the suspension was part of the budget plan from the May Revision onward. The Assembly floor report refers to the June 15 legislative budget proposal, says SB 122 was passed by the Legislature on June 18, and says implementing bills were expected to be voted on June 29, 2026. ACA 20 was introduced on June 22 and passed and chaptered on June 25.

Copy the public log and run its script. It reads only the public log: the signed copy of this record, the judgments behind it, the keys and the receipts. It recomputes each fingerprint and checks the proof, both signatures and the timestamps. It checks the signed copy in the log, not the text on this page:

git clone https://github.com/Macpire/ideology-integrity-log
cd ideology-integrity-log
npx tsx integrity/verify-record.ts --log ca-2026 ca-prop-2-claim-2 --repo .

To check that the text this site serves is that signed copy, add the site's address. Only this check ties the log to what you read here:
