On the ballots in Good old Cali

Quick take on some of the issues
Prop 13
Yes - seems pretty straight forward (well as straight as politically worded Proposition can get)

Prop 14
I think I'd have to say no. Politics is so shady as it is I don't want someone running that now does not have to at least say they believe in one party's platform. It is not the best solution but at least party lines give us an inkling of which way someone is leaning. Again kinda a gray area as all politicians usually tell you what you want to hear anyway.

Prop 15
No - I really don't want anyone telling anyone else how much money they can spend. Yes I would love for politicians to focus on the issues instead of raising money but I don't like the idea telling people what and how much money they can spend.

Prop 16

Very confusing arguments. One the one hand I would like to vote if the government decides to go into ANY business as I think they should stay far away from running anything. On the other hand why would PG&E be one of the largest contributors to this campaign? Seems a little suspicious. I am leaning towards NO but I would love any other feedback anyone has on this.

Prop 17
Whew talk about wordy and each argument seems to counter each other. I'll have to research a little more as we already in Natomas pay the HIGHEST car insurance rates in all of California if there is a way to lower rates because of a good driving history then that sounds good. However if insurance rates go much higher for even bad drivers they will simply drive without insurance which will cost me more money if they happen to wreck into me!!!

So I guess I have a few days to round up some more info Please let me know if you have any....

That time again

I just received my Primary Election information guide OH YEA!!! 79 pages of information. I just can't wait to pull up a comfy chair and spend a few hours reading through it. I REALLY hope that people get motivated to vote this year. It's time for the silent majority to let their voices be heard. I encourage everyone to get to know what is on the ballot. I will be reading threw everything and posting MY humble opinion. lol Don't hold your breath as I have 101 things to do before I get to it but I WILL do it before June 8th.
