Many believe that big businesses and oil companies promote Proposition 23. However, some business leaders do believe the state might control global warming. Delaying the implementation of the bill until employment in the state drops to 5.5 percent might help businesses. The Yes to 23 Campaign says that Proposition 23 is not a tool of oil companies.
