All the people that voted no on prop 6 - half thought it would be bad for the roads and bridges (BS commercials lying), and half thought no meant repeal! It was written so poorly, deliberately. No govt wants to give back the $ they steal.
Well the Prop was written by people who wanted to repeal the gas tax, so I think the vast majority of voters knew that Yes means voting for repeal. But what they don’t understand is that most of the dollars raised by the tax DON’T go to maintain roads and bridges—it goes to pay for bureaucracy and high pay and benefits for public employee union members. The whole thing is a big scam.
Well at least here in AZ the people voted overwhelmingly against the renewable energy mandate (Prop 127), supported by a CA billionaire, which would have increased our renewable energy requirement for electric power generation from 15% to 50%. That proposition was completely crazy and impossible to implement because of the huge night-time energy demand for home air conditioning in AZ during the warm half of the year. (We can’t run AC off of solar power at night...duh!)
Last I checked, NO was winning with 70%. We definitely sent a message to crazy climate change alarmists in CA to not mess with the electric power system in other states. ;-)
