I'm with you on that one. 83 and 85 are also possibilities (I still haven't read the fine print).
The Bondage Acts are so laden with pure puss and pork it's pathetic!!!
Agreed! Along with all the VC and Tax proposals.

UNION-TRIBUNE
July 9, 2006
Thirteen propositions have qualified for the Nov. 7 general-election ballot. The first five were placed on the ballot by the Legislature and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. The other eight qualified through the initiative process. The deadline for initiatives to qualify has passed, but the Legislature could still add measures.
Proposition 1A – Transportation Investment Fund: would make it more difficult for the Legislature to suspend Proposition 42, which mandates that gasoline sales-tax revenue be spent on transportation, and divert the money for other purposes.
Proposition 1B – Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, Port Security Bond Act of 2006: a $19.9 billion bond issue to pay for road repairs and expansions, repair bridges, expand public transportation and improve port security.
Proposition 1C – Housing and Emergency Shelter Trust Fund Act of 2006: a $2.85 billion bond issue to pay for affordable-housing assistance and housing for farmworkers and the homeless.
Proposition 1D – Education Facilities. Kindergarten-University Public Education Facilities Bond Act of 2006: a $10.4 billion bond issue for school and university construction.
Proposition 1E – Disaster Preparedness and Flood Prevention Bond Act of 2006: a $4.09 billion bond issue to repair levees and flood-control systems.
Proposition 83 – Sex Offenders, Sexually Violent Predators. Punishment, Residence Restrictions and Monitoring: would increase penalties for violent sexual predators and child molesters, prohibit registered sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of a school or park and require violent offenders to wear a satellite-monitoring device for life.
Proposition 84 – Water Quality, Safety and Supply. Flood Control. Natural Resource Protection Park Improvements: a $5.4 billion bond issue to pay for clean-water, flood-control and conservation projects.
Proposition 85 – Waiting Period and Parental Notification Before Termination of Minor's Pregnancy: would prohibit an abortion for a minor until 48 hours after a physician notifies her parent or legal guardian, with exceptions for medical emergency, parental waiver or court order.
Proposition 86 – Tax on Cigarettes: would raises the tax by 13 cents per cigarette to fund hospitals and emergency services, nursing education and children's health insurance.
Proposition 87 – Alternative Energy. Research, Production Incentives. Tax on California Oil: would impose a 1.6 percent to 6 percent tax on producers of oil extracted in California, depending on the price per barrel, to pay for research and production incentives for alternative energy vehicles and clean-burning fuels.
Proposition 88 – Education Funding. Real Property Parcel Tax: would impose a $50 tax on each real property parcel to pay for kindergarten-through-12th-grade programs, including class-size reduction, textbooks and school safety programs.
Proposition 89 – Political Campaigns. Public Financing. Corporate Tax Increase. Contribution and Expenditure Limits: would allow political candidates who raise a specified number of $5 donations to receive money from the state, and would raise taxes on banks and corporations by 0.2 percent to pay for the program.
Proposition 90 – Government Acquisition, Regulation of Private Property: would prohibit state and local governments from condemning private property for other private uses.
13 is NOT bad luck.
Prop. 13 was the one that stopped the government from escalating real estate taxes to and past the point of people's ability to pay them.
California voters may find new measures too taxing ($43B more borrowing,$3B in annual tax increases)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1662753/posts
1A YES (spend gas tax on roads)
1B YES roads/infrastructure bond
1C NO housing bond
1D NO school bond
1E YES levees bond
83 YES Jessica's law
84 NO parks, conservation
85 YES parental notification (predecessor of which, prop. 73 in the special elections was defeated, because conservatives stayed home)
86 NO cigarette tax
87 NO tax on "big bad oil companies" (incentive for them to leave state)
88 NO real estate tax increase "for the children" :(
89 NO tax increase on "big bad corporations" ( and who do you think will ultimately pay that?)
90 YES limiting eminent domain ( although I have to read it, because I heard it's not quite what we think it is)
Now, that's a scary thought.
Big kudos Norm for listing the measures.

I'm sorry but... This is what many of us have been trying to tell all the Shifty Schwartzie Swooners all along!!! They cover their eyes, ears and mouths but they should also cover their noses from the stench he's puttin on the bench with all those liberal Dem judges... There are none so oblivious as those who will not sniff!!!
So far... 90 is the only obviously worthwhile measure. The Bondage Acts are so laden with pure puss and pork it's pathetic!!!
I'm with you on that one. 83 and 85 are also possibilities (I still haven't read the fine print).

And do you think ANGELIDES is just the guy to put CA on the "right track"?

Are you trying to tell us, that you read the fineprint on 11 out of the 13 propositions, but not on 83 and 85?
You seem to be sure on how you vote on all of them except 83 and 85: Jessica's law and parental notification.
Angelides can't make up his mind on 83 either, whether or now he should support tough measures for pedophiles. I guess you must be having the same dilemma.
Bad luck for who? Prop.13 sure wasn't bad luck for the taxpayers.

They're banking on non-property owners to get out and vote for it but property owners will fool them and be out in force. Non-property owners will stay home as usual.
I read the fine print on Props 1A thru 1E and will vote NO based on the content.
I read the fine print on Prop 90 and will vote YES.
Props 84, 86, 87, 88, and 89 are unacceptable on their face--no need to read the fine print.
I want to read the fine print in Props 83 and 85 before deciding. While I favor strong enforcement of pedophiles, the mere thought of putting GPS devices on citizens, for life, is pretty creepy to me. I'd prefer to see them locked up if they present a danger.

Yes, I can see how we should have sympathy towards those who sexually abuse and murder little children. (/sarcasm)
Those are the "citizens" you are so concerned about.
You are sounding like the ACLU, worrying about the right of the murderers, but not about the rights of little children to grow up without being sexually molested and murdered by these criminals.
