#2 Voted no on 1a-1e. Voted yes on 1f, although it won't really ever be an issue. It was a finger in the political eye. Think I ruined the pen by pressing too hard

#3 Care to tell us what 1a - 1f are, Frank?

Purely for entertainment value, of course.... ;-p

#5 here's the UT ballot take. 1A-1E are pure bullshit tax and spend hikes. The misleading and unethical ads have been disgusting, and more shrill as it became clearer the sheeple weren't bleating in sync to the lies. 1F was a sop to the GOP guy, Abel Maldonado, who went along with the Donks to pass the budget. They can't get the 2/3rds vote without Reps that jump lines. Next round, the Donks'll try and get the 2/3rds majority tax vote rule eliminated to allow a majority to pass taxes...for "fairness". I get the feeling people are getting unruly here

#6 For me any proposition supported by the California Taechers Association (1A & 1B) becomes an automatic "NO".

#8 Thanks, Pappy - I guess.

I was hoping for a Cliff's Notes version.... ;-p

Another thing I'm not interested enough to look up: I guess Californication doesn't have a balanced budget clause in its Constitution?
