Since nobody asked, here's our family's take-away on the #California #Propositions:
* #Prop2 - Yes. Why: some of our local K-12 schools need desperate repairs, we're for a state bond to help share the cost and invest in our education facilities.
* #Prop3 - Yes. Why: lots of progressive reasons, but especially after reading the "Argument Against" section (always read what the nut jobs think, it's very informative)
* #Prop4 - Yes. Why: we need to invest in climate change protections, especially after critical dam failures, wildfire risks, etc.
* #Prop5 - Yes. Why: torn on this, but we get frustrated when public benefit is hamstrung by minority votes that prefer NIMBYism. This prop allows majority votes for funding affordable housing, count us in.
* #Prop6 - Yes. Why: when our kids learned about involuntary servitude and serfdom/feudalism, it was tough to explain that some of those "terrible things" are still alive and well in our prison system.
Thank you, Mr. Elverson, for dropping your planned curriculum to teach us about the danger brewing right under our noses:
