Calling California Du'ers...How do I vote on the propositions?
Haven't had the time to study them. All I know is I want to make sure that I don't support Schwartznegger's views.

2. I will be voting
Yes on 55 and 56, No on 57 and 58.

If Schwarzenegger wants to govern, let him raise taxes like a man, not foist the debt onto the next generation. He promised us he could balance the budget by "opening the books and auditing everything". Let him keep his promise.

3. I voted no on all but for 56
I feel the legislature should be able to raise taxes by a simple majority. While I DON'T want necessary programs to be canceled, I feel voting FOR the bond initiatives simply places the burden on everyone but the ones who benefit most...the rich.

10. 56 repeals
Most of prop 13 If you rent the increase will be passed on to you & yes even in rent control property Taxes get passed on to you. This will also hurt home owners (working peple) just getting by they will lose their house

6. I voted
Edited on Wed Feb-25-04 03:00 AM by rozf
56 - no - I know this is argued back 'n forth but passing legislation w/ 55% is scary in the hands of rethug legislature - I know currently it is dem but it could and will change - think about 55% rethugs wrecking environmental protections, off shore drilling......

57 - no
58 - no - steroid boy's using the visa 2 pay the mastercard. Let him get the money from undertaxed commercial property.

If U live in Huntington Beach or know anyone living here - Call them and tell them 2 vote NO on E! E must B defeated!

9. Yes on 55, no on the rest
I support 55 as a measure for our schools which in some cases are literally falling apart.
