I'm pretty pro boats. I love going out and fishing or just riding around in circles in the middle of the lake. Also, as a person who cannot swim, I'm pretty pro well kept docks. Therefore, I voted to create an incentive to register and pay taxes on boats in Kansas. Lets get whatever we can out of these boat owners. I'm also the son of a father who sold his boat once we moved to Kansas because a) the fishing here blows and b) the property tax on them was ridiculous. All in all, I'm still pretty pissed that I looked like some kind of dummy at the polling booth because I spent forever reading what the hell the vote was for on this boat tax issue. I mean, SERIOUSLY, ZERO warning about this being on the ballot. I voted yes.

I also voted yes on the 1/2 cent sales tax. Seems like I won't miss what I have already have been paying. Also, I want all the non-townies to pay for when they come into town on Friday and think they can just have the run of the my town.

No. The poor shouldn't be spending that much money on cigarettes.

The school ads were hella misleading. (<-local term)Was the union deduction issue just that people could voluntarily submit paperwork to have it deducted by payroll or are California districts closed shops? As a right-to-work state I think the payroll deduction is a good counter-balance. Unions will be completely irrelevant if they aren't. It is mostly a small dedicated group that negotiates now with little to no input from the majority other than a pro-forma vote on the negotiated agreement, with massive disinterest. If it goes away and people vote to dissolve the union, working conditions, salary, benefits will all be significantly worse.The prop allows union workers to opt in if they want automatic payroll deduction for the purpose of campaign contributions. Same for corporate employees. Basically allows all employees to contribute to anybody they wish or not at all. Pretty simple. Unions are freaking out because it could allow for a more balanced government in CA that is now basically owned a and run by the unions.
