Conagra, Sherman Williams Pull Controversial Lead Paint Cleanup Measure

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — A measure that would have asked taxpayers to foot the bill for lead paint cleanup that was placed on the ballot by paint companies has been withdrawn.
The announcement was made by lawmakers on Thursday who say the companies and the jurisdictions affected will continue to work out the issue without a ballot measure.
The California Secretary of State announced Tuesday that backers of the measure collected enough signatures to make the ballot.
