1F - Vote YES if you do NOT want legislator pay raises (during budget deficits)
Prop 1F is about NO PAY RAISES FOR LEGISLATORS in the year WHEN THERE IS NO BALANCED BUDGET - VOTE YES for NO.
I disagree. Off the top of my head, here are a few reasons why:
1) I don't believe that legislator's salaries are excessive given the level of experience and knowledge I want them to have.NO ON PROP 1F2) I don't want legislators who fight against tax increases and outrageous spending to be penalized. In the last go around, I'd like everyone of those Republicans who stood firm to get a raise and for the Democrats, Maldonado, Villines, and the rest of the turncoats to be thrown out entirely.
3) The amount of money you are talking about is peanuts relative to the billions in budget issues that they are passing, or more importantly stopping from passage.
4) If you read the fine print, you find that the administration can overrun the budget and run the rainy fund dry, something that is in the administration's control, not the legislature's. In such a case, this measure would penalize the legislators not those who caused the problem.
It's a silly, juvenile measure to make voters feel good by punishing "those evil legsilators" when only some of those legislator's are not doing what voters want.
Vote “Yes” if you want “No” — you gotta love the illiterates who write these ballot measures. Is it a plot to secretly pass things?
My general rule of thumb is to vote “NO” on every single ballot measure. There are a few good exceptions like Prop 13, Parental notification, Prop 8 — but not very many.
