McClintock on the California Propositions

[AVNevis]

Great Guide by Sen McClintock through the many propositions this year. The only one I disagree with him on is 60. Not that I oppose what it would do, but the legislature should have opposed Prop. 62 the right way; by working to defeat it instead of placing a competing measure on the ballot. No on 60 and 62 is my position. And in effect by voting No on 62 you are voting for 60 anyway since if both 60 and 62 fail the primary election system will stay the same; just like the legislature wants.

This was posted before; but thank you

We're from the government and we're here to help.

bttt

TM would make a great governor.

So, who's going to run for Feinstein's open Senate seat in 2006: Tom McClintock or Condi Rice???

[AVNevis]

I would say Tom-but he needs to run for Luitenant Governor. Feinstein is too riskey for Tom to bet his political future on beating her. She is fairly popular.

[Remember_Salamis]

There's a strong chance that she retires in 2006. She will be 70 in 2006, putting her at 76 at the end of her next term if re-elected. If it's an open field, I'd love McClintock to get the nomination. If Feinstein's running, I say go with Condi; after all, you cannot go from Left to Right without moving through the center.

[Plutarch]

70. De-politicize Tribal Gaming. YES.

Not so fast there, Tom. McClintock has been the recipient of Native American Casino largess. Maybe he supports 70 for the right reasons, and then again, maybe he don't.

[Mount Athos]

you read my mind plutarch. I'm taking him with a grain of salt on the gambling stuff.

McClintock Versus CAGOP and/or Da Govahnatah

The following are the measures where Tom, Ahnold and/or the CA Gop are in disagreement:

60A

CaGOP (Yea): This amendment would earmark the proceeds from any disposal of surplus state property for repayment of the Economic Recovery Bond, Proposition 57 (approved in the March 2004[Ends]

Ahnold, unknown
Tom, Nay, see top post

*****

65

CaGOP (Nay): T[SIC] measure would require voter approval for any legislation that provides for any reduction of local governments’ vehicle license fee revenues, sales tax powers and revenues, and proportionate share of local property tax revenues.

Ahnold, unknown
Tom, Yea, see top post

*****

70

CaGOP (Nay): This is the Indian-sponsored initiative to require the Governor to offer renewable 99-year gaming compacts to Indian tribes with no limits on the number of machines or types of games. Tribes would pay the state corporate tax rate in lieu of any other fees, taxes or levies. Tribes would not pay taxes if the state permits non-tribal casino-type gaming.

Ahnold, Nay
Tom, Yea, see top post

*****

Additionaly, Tom, Ahnold, and CaGOP make three-of-a-kind on the following:

Yea on 64
Nay on 66
Nay on 68
Yea on 69
Nay on 72

That exhausts what Ahnold states on his site. All unspecified positions of CaGOP are in agreement w/ McClintock.

Thanks for posting.

[concentric circles]

Tom McClintock has been speaking up for Indian causes since well before they had money to throw around.

[Kevin OMalley]

Ping for later election guide material and Tom McClintock fan.

[DB]

That's all well and good but what happens if 62 passes?

[So Cal Rocket]

If both 60 and 62 pass, the one that gets the most YES votes will become the law of the land... the other goes into the dustbin of history.

Therefore, we must vote YES on 60!

[concentric circles]

The Governor agrees with State Senator McClintock on three more propositions:

CA: Governor opposes telephone tax for hospitals, two other measures

[AVNevis]

Then our cause was defeated and we graciously concede defeat. Simple enough?

[AVNevis]

The reason I say No on 60 is I do not want to send a message to the legislature that if they don't like a propositon they can just place a competing measure against it. If the legislature opposes something they should oppose it the right way; by working for the proposition's defeat, not by placing a contradictory proposition on the ballot.

Bump so my wife can print this.

Someone is a little bit dumb about cut and paste here.
