(unaffiliated with either party)
Prop. 1 Recommended
vote weak NO
$4 billion debt for California for affordable housing. These sorts of funds are commonly squandered by the state bureaucracies and should not be encouraged. Leveraging veterans seems like a trick.
Prop. 2 Recommended
vote weak NO
Another $5.6 debt for California. Again looks like money to be squandered by the bureaucrats. Ballot arguments are contradictory which creates an automatic NO.
Prop 3. Recommended
vote strong NO
Money grab in the form of a clean water initiative.
Prop. 4 Recommended
vote moderate YES
Reasonable at reasonable costs to benefit Children’s hospitals. Good bill. Weak argument against the bill.
Prop. 5 Recommended vote strong YES
Gives a tax break to a few disabled and older people when transferring their home. The “no” campaign is extremely misleading and shameful.
Prop. 6 Recommended vote strong YES
Reasons, very misleading “no” campaign for a bill that does nothing more than repeal a new gasoline tax that was implemented as a money grab. Shameless attempt to fool the public with sketchy assertions.
Prop 7 Recommended
vote weak YES
This is a gateway bill that may or may not lead to the dissolution of the daylight savings time switchover. The arguments are sketchy.
Prop. 8 Recommended
vote moderate NO
This is a hotly contested initiative with contradictory assertions. This situation should always result in a no vote. The website for either side are not convincing but the “yes” website is creepier.
Prop. 9 Recommended vote REMOVED
This was the initiative to split California into three states.
Prop. 10 Recommended
vote weak YES
This turns over to the local municipalities control of rent stabilization laws taking them away from the state government. That’s all it does. The “no” campaign is very creepy and misleading with unproveable assertions.
Prop 11 Recommended
vote BLANK
There is no counter argument on the ballot information guide or anywhere else leading me to believe these are policies that are already in place and this initiative is targeting something specific which is never discussed. I’ll probably vote NO because this is very suspicious. Will probably pass easily.
Prop. 12 Recommended
vote strong NO
This appears to be misdirection as seen in a lot of these bills. Very misleading bill from the looks of it as it actually re-establishes cruel practices that were already outlawed. Seems to be the creation of the egg lobby. Bills like this need to always be voted against.
