Does Anyone Know How Much This Election Is Costing Us?

Even MORE California propositions. I'm deciding between a straight NO ticket, and a NO ticket with one YES for 1F.

1A gives the Governor way too much power and also is too restrictive; one reason the budgets are hard to balance is that we already have so many restrictions on what must be spent here and not be spent there blah blah blah.
1B is short-term savings; long-term higher costs: exactly the kind of thing that has us in some trouble now. It is not needed to restore education funding; the Legislature can do that. And it depends on 1A, and 1A is badly written.
1C -- more borrowing. Nix.
1D -- there are more responsible ways to balance the budget than robbing kids.
1E -- ditto for the mentally ill. Sheesh.
1F -- well the Gov cut the poor and the sick on Medi-Cal immediately, and now proposes to cut kids and the mentally ill...so why SHOULD elected officials still get pay raises when there is a deficit? My one YES vote, I think. No pay raises, gang. Not while you are all so willing to stiff the rest of us.

Heck, even I took the budget challenge and balanced easily w/out killing anybody. Give ME your pay raises if you can't do the same, and I'm also wondering why we pay for your health care.

  1. No on everything. Arnold needs his hands slapped again, just like we did it in 2005.
