Hello Amerigomag ---
Well the only initiatives I would vote NO on are 78 and 79. That is because they represent more state-sponsored (taxpayer) socialism, which is destroying our state now. Additional spending and taxation (to pay for it) is a major disease this state has.
Even prop. 75 - which controls union fraud, is a positive thing. The only people against it would be liberals who benefit from the unions and their votes. How unions use their dues should be of great concern to Californians that are union members.
Prop. 76 - more spending and more debt. I am exceedingly familar with the California school system from K to University...the last thing they need is MORE MONEY. Their problems lie in performance and gross radical liberalization.
Prop. 77 - redistricting is very good for California to break the liberal choke-hold which they have set up by their modifying and creating of new districts to put liberal voters to the forefront.
Prop. 80 - puts PUC controls on the sourcing of elect. power for California and breaks the stranglehold of the liberals on sourcing -- ala what Gray Davis did to this state...
This state is in a tax-and-spend and management crisis. At least the majority of these propositions are a tiny step in the direction of GETTING CONTROL away from the liberal legislature. My feeling is that the presence of 78 and 79 is another attempt by the libs to pull money from the taxpayers for their supportive liberal teacher's unions -- the libs will NEVER clean up California's school system. Money is NOT the issue. It never has been.
Sorry, mistake about 78 and 79 in my last paragraph -- ignore it.
Thanks.
