SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California voters have approved a plan to borrow $10 billion for various climate programs. It will be the state’s largest investment to date in fighting climate change. It was among 10 statewide propositions on the state ballot Tuesday. Voters also approved an initiative making shoplifting a felony for repeat offenders again and increasing penalties for some drug charges. Two other measures remained too early to call Wednesday morning. One would increase the minimum wage to $18 per hour by 2026. That would be up from the current $16 per hour for most people. Another would change the state constitution to ban forced labor.
