<blockquote><p>1A <strong>Yes</strong> &#8211; Make it harder for the government to borrow money.</p>
<p>1B <strong>No</strong> &#8211; It&#8217;s a bond measure, so it&#8217;d be an automatic no even if it weren&#8217;t a whopping $19.925 billion.</p>
<p>1C <strong>No</strong> &#8211; A mere $2.85 billion bond issue. For the &#8220;poor and homeless&#8221;. Right.</p>
<p>1D <strong>No</strong> &#8211; An additional $10.416 billion in bond debt, anybody? No thanks.</p>
<p>1E <strong>No</strong> &#8211; A toughie. I&#8217;m going against Tom McClintock, but with Ray Haynes. What tipped the scales? It&#8217;s a $4.09 billion bond measure.</p>
<p>83 <strong>Yes</strong> &#8211; Strengthen Jessica&#8217;s Law, and oppose the endorsement of the CA Attorneys for Criminal Justice. What&#8217;s to decide?</p>
<p>84 <strong>No</strong> &#8211; You thought we were through throwing money on the fire? No! Here&#8217;s a $5.388 billion bond measure, which will really cost about $10.5 billion over 30 years. And for what? &#8220;Park Improvements&#8221; and &#8220;clean water&#8221;. If bond measures actually cleaned water, California would be flooded with distilled water by now.</p>
<p>85 <strong>Yes</strong> &#8211; Parental notification if a minor wants an abortion. Duh.</p>
<p>86 <strong>No</strong> &#8211; Tax cigarrettes to fund Emergency Room Services. What a stupid idea. Besides, I apply my own maxim: There is no such thing as a good tax hike, and there is no such thing as a bad tax cut.</p>
<p>87 <strong>No</strong> &#8211; The oil tax scam. If you&#8217;re even considering voting for this you&#8217;re too stupid to work a computer.</p>
<p>88 <strong>No</strong> &#8211; It&#8217;s a tax hike. &#8220;For the children&#8221; Pull the other one.</p>
<p>89 <strong>No</strong> &#8211; Public funding of campaigns. Stupid, stupid, stupid.</p>
<p>90 <strong>Yes</strong> &#8211; Perhaps <em>the</em> most important initiative on the ballot. Limits abuse of eminent domain. The lefties are howling about this one, because they want your land.
</p></blockquote>
<p>There you have it. As for other races (even in other states) just chant &#8220;Speaker Pelosi&#8221; as you enter the voting booth. You&#8217;ll do the right thing.</p>
