A few days are left until the November elections, where Republicans and Democrats will compete – as they have done for more than a century – for the votes of the American people. In the state of California, however, something more will happen. Californians will be voting on a series of propositions which will directly influence the state’s policy (the famed and much-criticized proposition system).<\/p>\n
Propositions can be confusing – sometimes intentionally so. Thus I have compiled a series of posts analyzing what each proposition means for the state of California. These posts are followed by a newspaper-style editorial; whether to vote “yes” or “no” on each proposition.<\/p>\n
I have not touched upon propositions that have been heavily covered by the media; things such as Proposition 19 (the legalization of marijuana), for instance. The purpose of these posts is to inform the public about little-known but very important propositions. Everybody knows about Proposition 23 (which suspends the “Global Warming Solutions Act”), but very few people have probably heard about Proposition 25 – which makes passing budgets easier, and which will influence California’s future far more than what happens to marijuana.<\/p>\n
These posts are short and to the point; there are not multiple posts covering one proposition, for instance. This has been something I have previously promised<\/a> and failed to do. Fortunately covering propositions does not require pictures, and so the posts are kept simple and readable.<\/p>\n The full list of proposition editorials is below: <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A few days are left until the November elections, where Republicans and Democrats will compete – as they have done for more than a century – for the votes of the American people.
