Voting today?
We went over the sample ballots last night and discussed it again this morning. The wording/purpose is confusing on several of the measures.
1A
This one is somewhat clear, in that, it creates a rainy day fund. Sounds like a good idea, but wouldn't just spending less solve the budget shortage?
1B
This is confusing. What are supplemental payments to local school districts? I'm all for generous funding of schools but this is unclear.
1C
We have to have a special election to "modernize the Lottery"?
1D
Take away money from children's services to balance the budget?
No way.
1E
Take away money from mental health to balance the budget? No way again.
1F
This one should have been 1A. It's clear that it says "Prevents pay increases during budget deficit years." We had to have a special election to determine this???
I've gone back and forth as to voting all yes or all no or not voting at all to protest these damn special elections/propositions.
Special election goes down in flames!
What a fine mess you've gotten us in this time.
All that time, money and effort to write all these laws, all the printing, the precinct workers, etc. etc. etc. and the electorate answers back with a resounding NO!!! We are sick of these special elections. I'm pleased it turned out this way. Lies, damn lies and statistics. Maybe now they'll go back to Sacto and do their job they were elected to do.
