California's Propositions 2008

- Prop 2 - Vote Yes - Gives Chickens some room to spread their wings b4 they are slaughtered.
- Prop 3 - Vote Yes - Allocates funding for Children's Hospitals. Always good.

- Prop 8 - Vote No - If passes, will stop gay marriage - The bill of rights protects equality for all citizens. Vote no.
- Prop 9 -Vote no - for the same reasons as prop 6. ridiculous stuff.

- Prop 11 - Vote No - This one's a bit scary. Redistricting done by a committee not voted in by the public.
- Prop 12 - Vote Yes - Gives money to Veterans. Love it.

I agree in principle to a lot of these, but I don't think we have the money for all of them, and would rather not do yet another bond that our descendants must pay off.
ReplyDeleteAlternative energy is an imperative, but I'd rather wait till better financial times before approving a hi-speed train and some of the other stuff.
Well, I disagree. I know California is in dire straits, but these Props are too important to pass up. A high speed train will save California's money eventually and not voted for it know probably means it won't be on the ballot for awhile.
ReplyDeleteAnd be careful with some of these, as you read the fine print, some of these actually will save you money over time. (like prop 4, 5, 8, 9)
