Walmart
Having given $3.6 million, the retail giant is the largest donor to the Proposition 36 campaign, which would raise penalties for theft and drugs. New polls show it heading for a big victory.

California Teachers Association
Leading teachers union is the top funder of Proposition 2, a $10 billion bond measure to fund school construction. It’s ahead in the latest PPIC poll, but only just barely at 52%.
