Well, this year I'm not as informed as usual. I haven't had the time to read all of the fine print to find all of the stinky stuff, as I usually do. Now, I'm relying on the strong stench I see coming from the ballot summaries to conclude a "NO" vote is in order, unless I see a compelling reason to support it.

Your advice is right on target:

PLEASE PEOPLE... IF IN ANY DOUBT, VOTE NO!!!

I read up on the NO side and its reads like a who's who of labor organizations, latino and black organizations - all the main Democrat constituencies. And of course the state Democratic establishment is AGAINST it. We all know why. I doubt it has anything to do with the way the proposition's commission is structured but rather with the fact the Democrats lose their power to draw boundaries again for partisan advantage. Remember, the people who rigged California elections to keep Democrats in power are not our friends.
