Proposition 2 — NO - School facilities bond. Issues $10 billion dollars in State School Bonds - Our state is spending record amounts and taxing everything. Taking out more bonds when interest rates are high, and our State has a poor credit rating is a really bad idea. More bonds lead to more taxes which is murder on family incomes.

Proposition 3 — NO - Constitutional Amendment Marriage Equity Reaffirm the right of same-sex to marry. The voters passed Prop 8 and Proposition 22 defining traditional marriage. Yet twice the courts stole our votes from us; first by forcing us to vote on it a second time time. Then, retroactively redefining an amendment to the constitution as a “revision”, invalidating our voice. Don’t dignify California’s activist judges by overturning our votes.

Proposition 4 — NO - $10 Billion Massive Climate Bond Package. Issues $10 billion in bonds for more under-managed parks, fake and expensive “green” energy, and environmental spending. We can’t afford more debt for corrupt state projects we don’t want. Remember High Speed Rail? See Prop 2.
|
|
Proposition 5 — NO - Lowering the threshold for local government taxes. Lowers yet another vote threshold from two-thirds to 55%, this for local bond measures to fund housing projects and public infrastructure – the 2/3 vote helps hold spenders accountable and forces them to devise better projects to be approved. We don’t need to make it easier for them to tax us more through local bonds. No.
|
|
Proposition 6 — NO - Ending forced prison labor. Removes “involuntary servitude” as punishment for a crime from the state constitution. Prison should be a corrective measure that makes criminals never want to return, and work programs can help them learn responsibility and earn “good time.” Being soft on criminals obviously isn’t working.
|
|
Proposition 32 — NO - Minimum wage hike raises the state minimum to $18. Increases minimum wage to $18/ hr – Do you love inflation? Or kiosk-only retail? Increasing the minimum wage will get us two things – more inflation and less employment. Vote NO
|
|
Proposition 33 — NO - Allowing cities to enact rent control measures. Repeals Costa Hawkins Rental Housing Act – allowing for a giant expansion of rent control. If you want to see housing shortages get much, much worse and homes much more expensive, this is the way to do it. Building of all types slows where rent control is imposed.
|
Proposition 34 -- Require certain health providers to use nearly all revenue from a federal prescription drug program on patient care. Requires health care providers to spend 98% of revenues from federal discount prescription drug program directly on patient care. One activist group in LA is using its healthcare money to push political issues such as rent control rather than provide discount drugs. They are financing Prop 33 above. They should use their funds as intended for reducing the cost of drugs rather than siphoning the money to their political ambitions.
Proposition 35 -- Managed Care Organization Tax. Stops the state from raiding Hospital funding that pays for Medi-Cal programs. This is not a tax increase. Hospitals are trying to prevent the Democrats in the legislature from stealing the money they put up to match federal dollars to pay for Medi-Cal from being siphoned away into the abyss of the state general fund.

Proposition 36 — YES YES YES - Increasing drug and theft punishments
Restores penalties for rampant theft convictions and forces drug addicted offenders to get clean or face prison time, plus holds fentanyl dealers accountable. I enthusiastically support Prop 36. I collected signatures for it and have held several campaign events for it. It makes crime illegal again and will reclassify the massive retail theft as a felony again as well as go after fentanyl dealers and force drug addicts into treatment. If you are tired of the massive break-ins and hordes of smash-and-grab crime plaguing our state this is the first big step to fix it. |
