California Propositions

Prop 19 YES Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act
We all know we need to stop the hypocrisy and legalize this plant’s use and production. Marijuana provides violent drug cartels with 60% of their money. This bill will put gangsters out of work. It allows for government to regulate and treat this drug’s use and just like alcohol.

Prop 20 NO Redistricting Commission
The League of Women Voters backed the Citizens Redistricting Commission in 2008. Now before the CRC has begun its work Charles Munger Jr. has spent $3 million to change it. This bill is not supported by the League. While it does extend the reach of the CRC to Congressional Districts, it requires the CRC to consider living standards, economic segregation, when defining districts.

Prop 21 YES State Parks – VLF
This measure will keep our parks open, and our wild areas healthy. This $18 Vehicle License Fee (VLF) for most vehicles licensed in California creates a fund to operate and protect our state parks and wild life. Vehicles that have paid this VLF can enter State Parks without charge.

Prop 22 NO City, Transportation, & Redevelopment Taxes
This measure prohibits state government from taking, borrowing or diverting taxes raised for local services and projects. However, this measure severely threatens state funding of education, healthcare and social services. This $2 billion restriction on the State Legislature would not be on the ballot if we had a majority vote for a state budget. Let’s fix the real problem, No on 22 and Yes on 25.

Prop 23 NO Suspension of Air Pollution Laws
This measure is being sold as a jobs bill when in reality this Texas oil funded bill protects their right to pollute. This proposition creates not one job, while the “green economy” it threatens has already created a million jobs in California. Save our climate and our jobs, vote No on 23.

Prop 24 YES Reverses Corporate Tax Loopholes
Here’s another reason for voting yes on Prop 25. To close a $20 billion budget gap in 2009 the minority insisted on a tax break to multi-state corporations. This measure overturns those tax cuts, scheduled to take effect in 2011, and will save our State Budget $1.3 billion yearly.

Prop 25 YES Simple Majority Budget
Tired of a radical minority controlling the agenda in Sacramento and costing the State millions of dollars every day the budget is delayed? This bill does not raise taxes but it does require the majority to pass the budget on time. Legislators permanently lose their salary every day the budget is late.

Prop 26 NO Redefines Mitigation Fees as Taxes
Alcohol, tobacco, and oil interests have funded this bill. By requiring a 2/3 vote for all mitigation fees this bill effectively eliminates the ability of local and state governments from charging businesses to pay for the cost of their operations.

Prop 27 NO Overturns Citizens Redistricting Commission
Its time to give up the concept of safe seats for special interests. Let the independent CRC draw districts that are safe for those actively engaged in building a culture democratic participation in our state affairs.
