In the CA Supreme Court vote, the problem is that if we reject Chin and Cantil-Sakauye, and Jerry Brown is elected governor, he will appoint justices far far worse. Been there, done that — Rose Bird.

[Navy Patriot]

Great resource GVnana, got the judges down pat.

Anybody got recommendations on Prop 22? It looks like a yes except it empowers redevelopment agencies in the fine print. So is it a no?

[GVnana]

Well, we got rid of Rose Bird, didn’t we?

[Navy Patriot]

Recall.

[Drango]

I waited and changed my registration to vote for Dave Harmer, and hopefully cut McNerny’s throat.

[Drango]

I should be phone banking for David Harmer this very instant, but dang it...football is on.

My husband and I are voting no- thus keeping it the way it is now. redevelopment agencys at least where I live in San Mateo is the San mateo City Council they are bad news in My Opionin they funnel off money to the agency and in my neighborhood they have been buying up property and are putting High density low income affordable housing then the City cries poormouth that they have no money because of State takeaways thus asking for sales tax increase and this year they also want a $10.00 vehicle license fee for raods and such. We just keep paying for the same thing over and over it is like Ground Hog Day.

Lincoln Club recommends a no vote.

Proposition 22. PROHIBITS THE STATE FROM BORROWING OR TAKING FUNDS USED FOR TRANSPORTATION, REDEVELOPMENT, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROJECTS AND SERVICES. INITIATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. Vote No. Legislative analyst says this initiative could threaten the State’s general fund to the tune of over a $1 billion dollars.

Mrs. Patriot recommended no also, based on her assessment of the local people that are for it. She is almost always right in her choices using this method, so I am going to suspend my tactical and strategic analysis attempt, and go with a no.

I have been unimpressed with the efficiency and product of redevelopment agencies that I have seen.

[Navy Patriot]

Confirmed, no.

Most of us with a life don't have the time or the resources to follow the competence of local and state judges.
That is often the toughest elements of every election. When in doubt I vote "NO!" which is probably unfair to the handful who and both comptent and honest, with no delusions of a right to engage in activism, and to turn habitual repeat offenders loose dozens of times.

I feel better already.

[Publius6961]

Your positive attitude and lame logic is underwhelming.

I am voting on principle and deal with whatever pops up if it happens.

My anger, and the general negative attitude towards judicial activism is not going away any time soon.

Tom McClintock on the propositions:

"Prop 22: Hands Off Our Money. YES. This takes a giant leap toward restoring local government independence and protecting our transportation taxes by prohibiting state raids on local and transportation funds. Local governments are hardly paragons of virtue, but local tax revenues should remain local."

[Navy Patriot]

Local governments are hardly paragons of virtue,

I have decided to vote no in spite of my respect for Tom.

22 empowers redevelopment districts too much, and to speed the collapse of the state government we must put them at odds with and fighting with local governments.

If we protect the locals, they will turn their backs on the citizens. My city and county has already done so.

[concentric circles]

I see prop 22 as another weapon in the battle to bring Sacramento under control. It keeps money that is intended for local government in the hands of local government instead of allowing the state to continue to use it as a grab bag to help balance their budget when state revenue falls short of funding extravagant spending. It’s always a little easier to keep track of the politicians who are close to home. The farther away they are, the more difficult it is to hold them accountable.
