Proposition
70: Tribal Gaming Compacts. Exclusive Gaming Rights. Contributions to
State. Initiative Constitutional Amendement and Statute.
What: Tribes get exclusive gambling rights, pay corporate tax rates
only. State can use payments for any purpose (versus limited purposes).
My Vote: No because it specifically undermines the compacts that
Governor Schwarzenegger made earlier this year.
Proposition 71: Stem Cell Research. Funding. Bonds. Initiatuve
Constitutional Amendment and Statute.
What: Provides constitutional right to conduct stem cell research.
My Vote: No. Whether I approve of stem cell research or not (I haven't
made up my mind) it's not a constitutional right.
Proposition 72: Health Care Coverage Requirements. Referendum.
What: Approve or reject Senate Bill 2 that state gov wanted to pass. In
general it requires some employers to pay more for worker health
insurance.
My Vote: No. I think we make companies too much for health insurance.
It should be voluntary. If the state needs the money then raise
corporate taxes in general.

Measure 1A:
Protection of Local Government Revenues.
What: Ensure local property/sales tax revenues remain with local gov.
My Vote: No. I don't like tying the state government's hands that way.
Measure AA: BART Earthquake Safety Bond
What: $1B local bond for earthquake safety.
My Vote: No. Raise bridge tolls again, raise BART ticket prices.
Measure FF: Washington Township Health Care
What: $190M local bond to improve Washington Hospital.
My Vote: No. I'm selfish this year. This is not my health care provider.
