528-539 – Craig Huey with the Election Forum (electionforum.org), recommends how to vote on those Propositions February 5th:
Yes on 91 – Transportation Funds
No on 92 – Community Colleges
No on 93 – Limits on Legislators
94 – 97 Gaming Compacts – "Yes" if you're okay with the state receiving gambling revenue. "Blank" or "No" if not.
No on the Los Angeles Telephone tax. This won our "Deceptive" Award for this election.
Yes on 91 Transportation Funding Protection. This measure flatly prohibits Sacramento from raiding our highway taxes to paper over their budget deficits. When a watered-down version of Prop. 91 was adopted by the legislature, its sponsors dropped this measure after it qualified. Nevertheless, if you want to genuinely protect our transportation taxes from being raided, Prop 91 is the Real McCoy.
No on 92 Guaranteed Funding for Community Colleges. This can best be described as a Prop. 98 for community colleges – guaranteeing them a growing level of funding from the state's tax revenues regardless of their actual attendance, their performance or the state's fiscal condition and priorities. If you like straight-jackets, you'll love Prop. 92.
N/A Prop. 93 Term Limits. Current term limits are a maximum of 14 years in the legislature: six in the Assembly and eight in the Senate – which is why you see so much office-hopping. Prop. 93 reduces the maximum to 12 years in the legislature, but allows them to be served in the same house. Since I've only served eight years in the Senate, Prop. 93 would give me one final term; if it fails I must retire this year. Because I have a conflict of interest, I'm staying out if it.
Yes on 94-97 Indian Gaming Compacts. These propositions ratify the compacts that allow four tribes to expand their casinos. I'm not a gambler, but it's none of government's business how people spend their money. I'm tired of government restrictions on enterprise, and I'm tired of government telling us what we can and can't do. And our economy desperately needs the new jobs and investment.
