In a little over a month, we have the next general election. In California, this comes bundled with a whopping twelve propositions this time around. As always, I'll review them one at a time, providing a summary of the proposition, some additional relevant background, a view of who's providing the funding for and against, and my up or down recommendation for each (and, as always, I'll put links into this post as I complete the reviews).
This November, we are being asked to vote on:
1A: High-Speed Passenger Train Bond Act - recommend "No"
2: Standards for Confining Farm Animals - recommend "No"
3: Children's Hospital Bond Act - recommend "No"
4: Waiting Period and Parental Notification Before Termination of a Minor's Pregnancy (again) - recommend "No"
5: Nonviolent Drug Offenses; Sentencing, Parole, and Rehabilitation - recommend "Yes"
6: Police and Law Enforcement Funding; Criminal Penalties and Laws - recommend "No"
7: Renewable Energy Generation - recommend "No"
8: Elimination of Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry - recommend "No"
9: Criminal Justice System; Victim's Rights - recommend "No"
10: Alternative Fuel Vehicles and Renewable Energy - recommend "No"
11: Redistricting (again) - recommend "No"
12: Veterans' Bond Act of 2008 - recommend "Yes"
