Re: the last item, is a small shack is going to pay the same $50 surcharge that Apple pays for its corporate campus or a 500 unit apartment building?
Remind me again why I send representatives to Sacramento? Aren't they suuposed to be making these decisions?

Vote no on EVERYTHING. Sacramento takes in far too much money as it is. The little piggies can make do with the teats they already have.
No bonds or taxes, set up a voluntary fund for people who believe in this cr@p and want to pay out of their own wallets for it.
IMO, unless it is from their neighbor's wallets, they are NOT often as intersted.
"They also will be asked to decide, under Proposition 83,whether or not sex offenders and violent predators must spend their entire lives with Global Positioning System monitoring and be banned from living within 2,000 feet of any school or park."
Tracking people with GPS and telling them where they can live? Why would anyone support that? And how could it conceivably be constitutional?
Have you ever voted in California???? NONE of these will be voted down.
Proposition 1A [SCA 7]: Modification of 2002's transportation funding initiative, Proposition 42.
Proposition 1B-1E: The $37 billion in infrastructure bonds placed on the ballot back in April.

Proposition 84: The $5.4 billion water quality and water supply bond that qualified as a voter-circulated initiative.
Proposition 85: Waiting period and parental notification before a teenage girl can have an abortion, a repeat of 2005's failed Proposition 73.
Proposition 86: Increased $2.60 tax on a pack of cigarettes, with the money going to health and emergency services programs.

13 initiatives = 13 tricks by the CA legislature to embezzle more $ for pet projects that have absolutly nothing to do with the original initiative description
Mexico's contribution to California - Fabian Nunez
That's right folks, the Speaker of the California State Assembly, Fabian Nunez, is a native of Tijuana, Mexico.
You don't have to look any farther to see what is wrong in Sacramento. Nunez, Cedillo, Calderon, Romero, and the rest of the Mexican Mafia milking California dry.
Vote NO on ALL Bond and Tax raising propositions.
Typical. The California politicians are going to save the taxpayers money by spending 4 billion dollars. They could immediately save 4 billion dollars by not spending the 4 billion dollars. But what do I knowf?
I heard Tom McClintock talking about bond issues on talk radio the other day. His point was that you should never vote for bond measures if it's not a long term capital improvement.
For example, he said the levee bond issue was worthwhile, especially since under state law every taxpayer in the state will have to chip in if there is a levee breach and a major flood disaster.
The rest he was against, because they didn't meet his criteria.
Nah I won't have any difficulty at all. Anything including any of the words "tax", "bond", or "billion" in it gets a No vote.
