Propositions
Nov. 7th, 2012 08:34 amFirst, wanted to say, woo! Obama. (Actually, haven't been worried since July, so ... yeah)
Secondly, Propositions and stuff!
YAY:
- Prop 30 passed! That means that the California people are more competant at figuring out budget stuff than the legislature. It also means our public schools get to keep running.
- Prop 36 passed! That means that the 3 strikes law is less dumb now, and we can decrease the prison population.
- Prop 39 passed! Clean Energy: 1, Business Tax Loophole: 0
BOO:
- Prop 34 didn't pass. Sorry, death penalty dudes -- the government still has to spend money killing you, whether you deserve it or not.
- Prop 35 passed. Sorry, registered sex offenders current and future: you will have to turn over your internet identity stuff to the police so that they can check your facebook and WoW.
- Measure B in LA passed. Sorry, porn industry testing services.
Washington: (Which I care about due to my strange fondness for Seattle)
- Hey, good job on marriage equality and legalizing marijuana. Sorry about the 2/3 legislature vote required to pass budget. (See our prop 30 as an example of what might happen.)
Marriage Equality:
- Hey, how come this wasn't on California's ballot this year? Lame. We might have been celebrating with Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, and Washington!
