Final Recommendations

Greetings!

This afternoon, a group of our friends are gathering at our house to discuss the state ballot propositions.  Here's how I am leaning so far:

Proposition

51 - $9 billion in bonds for education and schools.   Undecided.  Shouldn't these be locally decided?
52 - Voter approval to divert hospital fee revenue dedicated to Medi-Cal.  Undecided. Shouldn't this be a legislative decision?
53 - Voter approval requirement for revenue bonds above $2 billion.  No.  Does a bullet train or earthquake repair really warrant rejection?
54 - Public display of legislative bills prior to vote.  Yes.
55 - Personal income tax increases on incomes over $250,000.  Yes.
56 - Increase the cigarette tax to $2.00 per pack.  Yes.
57 - Parole for non-violent criminals and juvenile court trial requirements.  Yes.
58 - Non-English languages allowed in public education.  Undecided.  Does eliminating parental consent really benefit anyone?
59 - Overturn of Citizens United Act Advisory Question.  Yes.
60 - Require the use of condoms in pornographic films.  Undecided.  Why is everyone against this?
61 - Prescription drug price regulations.  Yes.  Will veterans really be harmed?
62 - Repeal the death penalty.  Yes.
63 - Background checks for ammunition purchases/large capacity magazine ban.  Yes.
64 - Legalization of marijuana and hemp.  Yes.
65 - Dedication of revenue from disposable bags to wildlife conservation Fund.  No.
66 - Death penalty procedures.  No.
67 - Plastic bag ban veto referendum.  Yes.
