Propositions for California

I voted no on everything except 93. I was a fan of the term limit idea.

What are the thoughts against 93, though. I'd like to know.

The description and ads regarding Prop 93 are very deceptive. If you are a fan of term limits, you should have voted NO.
 
I'm voting no on all of them.

I was ambivalent about 94-97 but after reading through the other's opinions here I've decided to go against them. I was also hesitant to help bring extra funds to our state when it needs to learn to cut spending.
 
Dont help out any casinos! The gambling drug is a horrible one. I was a dealer inside a california casino (Thunder Valley) for 4 years! These tribes dont need more help, they are rolling in the dough yet they treat their employees like crap. At the time minimum wage was 6.75 an hr but because they are on sovereign land they got away with paying us only 5.15 an hour! They are so cheap. I live right by the casino too ans I see them driving around in their hummers and maserati and it makes me sick.

Most of you probably can gamble and not become an addicted sucker BUT 90% of the people that go to casinos are extremly addicted. I have seen people piss and shit on themselves because they did not want to get up from their "hot" seat to go to the bathroom. I have seen many people stay in the casinos gambling for 7 days straight. They dont stop to sleep or anything. It's really bad but most people on the outside dont see it. I am so glad I quit working in a place like that.
 
I voted No on everything except for 92

94-97 is passed restricts natives ever unionizing for workers rights
only some natives gain rights and some left out...and not all of the proceeds are guaranteed to education, which mostly goes to the Prison system

93 includes a "grandfather" loophole to reset the terms of a bunch of politicians in office. It was proposed by Fabian Nunez, who is getting termed out in a few months. If it passes, he and several other slicksters will get MORE time in office. Its a big lie.

Vote NO, if only to get this clown out.
 
I voted Yes on term limits. I voted No on the Indian casino things where the gov would get revenues/taxes from the Casinos b/c I want the gov to take the bitter medicine and figure out how to budget itself without relying on casinos. I am probably in the minority on this though.

I don't think that this is the proper way to think about it, because a yes vote is a vote more more government control of competition. It might be different if it would allow anyone who met certain requirements to have the additional slots. However, it only applies to the people who made the backroom deal, effectively with the hope of putting all of the other casinos out of business. Trust me, there is a reason why these casino owners are wanting to fork over more of their $$ to the government. So the net result is more money for a few people, but probably less casinos overall.

This is like if the government said only gas stations owned by Shell or Mobil can build new gas pumps, and we will take a share of the larger profits. The mom and pop gas station down the road would likely go out of business.

I personally don't agree with the concept of Indian gaming anyway, it is already a monopoly. But this just makes it worse. Gambling should either be flat out legal or flat out illegal for everyone in each particular state.

Completely agree. Vote No
 
The main argument for the Indian propositions is to increase state revenue. I say the state has enough money already, and needs to learn how to manage what it has before getting a penny more! So I voted no on the propositions. Why enable more government waste?
 
Change my vote by responding in the next hour!

Will vote NO on everything but will vote YES for Prop 91 which restricts gas taxes for transportation purposes and not to be loaned to the general fund for other purposes. Our roads are pretty crappy and I am tired of it. I am unsure about prop 93 (term limits).

If anyone can respond within the next hour you can change my vote.

I can't understand the NO votes on this. I am voting YES on propositions 94, 95, 96, and 97 because I do not think it is a proper function of government to limit the number of slot machines that tribes or anyone else runs. As far as I am concerned, they should be allowed to run as many as they want. Voting YES allows four tribes to have at least 5,000 slot machines; voting NO limits them to only 2,000. A YES vote is closer to "as many as they want" than a NO vote, so I'm voting YES.

I agree with you but I am voting NO on the gaming props. The gov wants to get more revenue from the tribes to fund big government instead of reducing spending and waste. This will also make California more of a gambling state and I don't want the gov dependent on gambling revenue. Its immoral to me.

why is everyone voting no on 92?
whats wrong with community colleges getting more money?
 
I love gambling, but I don't see any reason why the tribes should need our permission to do ANYTHING on their OWN land!! The state should not take their revenues, either. So, NO on 94-97!

Ah, I see. Thanks!

I'm glad to see that 93 didn't pass, then. I guess this just teaches me not to vote for a proposition until I properly understand its finer details.
 
Any opinions on Prop 98 and Prop 99 for Tuesday's primary?

They both sound good on the surface -- any hidden catch?
