How I Will Vote

Posted on November 7, 2006 in California Watch Campaign 2006

You can probably guess that I am voting a straight ticket — it’s been years since the Republicans launched a candidate that I could stomach — so here are my intentions for the day:

Prop 1A	Transportation Funding Protection	No, I am tired of initiatives which attempt to prevent legislators from moving around funds when greater needs arise.
Prop 1B to 1E	Various Bonds	Yes
Prop 83	Sex Offender Monitoring	No. Similar plan failed in Iowa. Money does not target family predators who constitute 80% of criminals in this category.
Prop 84	Water Quality, Park Improvement	Yes. The Jarvis people don’t want this.
Prop 85	Parental Notification on Abortion	No. Protects minors from incestuous and abusive families.
Prop 86	Tax on Cigarettes	No. Some funny language about letting hospitals avoid anti-trust. A trojan.
Prop 87	Alternative Energy Tax	Yes. Anything to piss the oil companies off. Drilling tax is the law in many other states including Texas. Why not use it to create alternative energy sources?
Prop 88	Education Funding, Real Property Tax.	No. I would have to pay the same amount as a guy with 100 acres.
Prop 89	Public Financing of Political Campaigns	No. League of Women Voters does not like this.
Prop 90	Private Property	No! Written by big land interests.
