The following is a complete list -- with links -- of the editorial endorsements of California's ten largest newspapers: the Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, The San Diego Union-Tribune, The Sacramento Bee, Orange County Register, The (San Jose) Mercury News, The (Riverside) Press-Enterprise, Contra Costa Times, The Fresno Bee and Los Angeles Daily News.
For half of the dozen measures on the Nov. 4 ballot, the papers' editorial boards all agreed.
All of the largest papers opposed Propositions 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.
Only for Proposition 11, the redistricting measure, did the papers all agree to support an initiative. The redistricting overhaul would strip state lawmakers of the power to draw their own districts -- long a favorite reform of the state's editorial boards.
The ten largest papers split evenly on only a single measure -- Proposition 3, the children's hospital bond. Those opposed cited costs.
All told, a majority of the ten papers recommended opposing nine of the 12 measures on the ballot. (Only the redistricting measure and Proposition 12, a veterans bond, were recommended for passage.)
