Drug firms may back 3 initiatives

http://www.sacbee.com/content/politics/story/12345177p-13213009c.html

Rumblings about a historic off-year election in California this fall grew louder Monday when it was learned that the nation's biggest drug companies have committed to spending $10 million to put three initiatives on the statewide ballot.
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America approved the expenditure last week to fund one initiative that is the industry's answer to reducing prescription drug costs, a second that will prevent public employee unions from using members' dues for political purposes and a third that would cut trial lawyers' contingency fees.
