[SGVLUG] Voting... researching props

[matti]

FYI -

I don't watch too much TV so I guess I will have
to educate myself on these propositions ;)

I'm reviewing the propositions, and wanted to
pass along the resources I am finding...
( thankfully we can get more info on the net,
openness is good ;)

[ lots 2 read, looks like all propositions here...

dang! guess I have to find good summary info...

hmmmm... wow, digging about it seems like NO ONE
should vote for this judging on the number
of governors against it... tho thinking a bit more

logically no Governor would be willing to 
release anyone from prison (cover your ass politics),
and certainly the prison guards unions enjoy their
power....

should I trust these people in power who get paid
by the guard union on how to vote???

hmmmm...

anyways, I've got more research to do.
