A controversial ballot measure intended to increase penalties for theft and drug charges is gaining serious momentum with California voters.

ANTIOCH -- Prop 36 is one of ten propositions appearing on the Novermber ballot. It promises to increase sentences for theft based on property value and would require courts to warn people convicted of drug charges about future possible charges if they sell deadly drugs like fentanyl, heroin and cocaine among other things.

'I mean, it really has an impact on us,' Roetzer said.City officials are also backing Prop 36. Antioch mayor Lamar Hernandez-Thorpe admits this ballot measure isn't a cure-all for crime but thinks it's a good place to start.'I don't think this measure or this proposal answers every single question that we're facing with. I do think it'll help,' he said.One of the most outspoken critics of Prop 36 is Gov. Gavin Newsom.
