Ballot issues. How I'm voting.

A34- Construction Liability. Limits fraud, faulty workmanship compensation to $250,000
No WAY! This is nothing but the creeping bugaboo of "tort reform" that Repugs have been harping about for years, in order to help shady contrators stay shady. Remember the escalators at Coors Field? Is $250,000 enough for that?

A35-Tobacco tax
No. Most of these sin taxes go to useless things and not towards the intended, or promised purpose...besides I still smoke (selfish!):D

A36- Presidential electors.
NO! If Kerry wins Colorado. You'll be sorrrrrrrrrrry! The blue book says this WILL be retroactive to 2004. The poll are even up, and we all know how they aren't including the tons of new Dem voters this year. I say let's take our chances in making Co. Springs votes going to Kerry, just like mine went to Chimpy in 2000. Revenge is sweet.

A37-Renewable Energy
Yes. It's necessary, and it's time.

Ref-A State personel system.
No. This is pure evil in disguise. Giving hiring powers for state employees to political appointees, and elected officials is a violation of every pro-labor fiber in my body. Some of the provisions are good, but on the whole, some really draconian measures have been added into this. It's graft and political abuse in a box.

Ref-B Obsolete Constitutional Provisions
Yes. Constitutions are living documents. If you get a zit popped, it's no longer a part of your body. Likewise, a judge strikes down a law, then it should be taken out of the Constitution. The "historical relevance" argument holds no water, since libraries still exist.

So what do all of you think of these?
