I had planned to vote NO on all of them. I'll have to relook at Prop 91.
Other than that, I'll just agree to disagree with Tom.

PING!

McClintock Ping List.
Please freepmail me if you want on or off this list

We discussed this earlier cowgirl ... and I think Tom and I are on the same page.

I feel vindicated!
Have a great day!

[Carry_Okie]

I'm not with him on gambling because of the externalities involved.

[NormsRevenge]

Looks like Tom would also be booted along with Perata and Fabian.. bummer

War is Hell.. 2010 and before looms tho as well.

That proposal for the college guarantees is the same thing they did with the public school system. Now they can’t get out of it and it makes no difference whether or not the state has the money. The public schools still get their raises......guaranteed.

flag for later.

From one “cal” to another —

I’m glad to see Tom come out in favor of Prop 91, as I was planning to vote on it, based upon my reading of the proposed law. However, I’ve seen so much opposition to it, that I’m pleased to see my take on the measure is the same as mine.

I’d almost be willing to vote yes on 93 to keep Tom in the legislature, but the Speaker and Prez of the Assembly and Senate have insulted my intelligence with this one. Yeah - down 12 years from 14 but resets or extends the clock for the two Big Cheeses, who think we’re a bunch of idiots.

[UncleDick]

I can’t disagree with Tom on any of these. Although I’m neutral on the issue of term limits, I’ll probably vote no on 93 by default. I wish gambling was legalized statewide to break the Las Vegas mob monopoly, but Props 94-97 are better than nothing. And I’m not a gambler either.

[ken21]

thanks!

i’m definitely opposed to extending term limits.

[WalterSkinner]

..NO across the board—sorry Tom

Does anyone know what the tribes pay to the state of CA for gaming taxes? If less than the 7.5% sales tax, this is a bad deal.

[Saundra Duffy]

Thanks for the info. I trust McClintock on these things. However, conservatives voting in California is pretty much a waste of time. Los Angeles liberals run everything.

[Kevmo]

thanks for posting this, I’m a McClintock fan and I’ll consider his views when I decide on the propositions.

[E-Mat]

I still have to go over the Propositions myself, but because I respect Tom McClintock’s understanding of California’s needs, I use his guide as a starting point.

So far, I disagree with him on the gambling initiatives (94-97) because gambling industry does not generate wealth or supply human needs. In fact, for it’s customers and its neighborhoods it does exactly the opposite. It’s like having your government tax cigarettes and alcohol and then encouraging us to smoke and drink ourselves to oblivion. Why can’t California promote industries that generate true wealth, supply human needs, and even useful skills? Why can’t California promote recreations that stimulate families, health, and learning?

Meanwhile, here’s something else to take action on:
Bill: AB 755 - Prohibition of Spanking

Because I have a conflict of interest, I’m staying out if it.

I love the smell of integrity in the morning!
