California’s Prop 1 is also slightly ahead. And people are aghast that they can’t afford to live here. Thank you brain-dead voters.
Booyah!,
.
The margin for Proposition 1 is down to fewer than 15,000 votes, so hopefully enough votes can be found to defeat this proposition.
Proposition 1 is a 30 year bond. You will be paying for it in your Property Tax bill for the next 30 years.
These schools have enough money to change names …. just saying….
I’m not cool with allowing everyone to vote to raise taxes only on property owners. It just pits renters against homeowners.
Prop 1 – the usual….. people not doing their research and blindly voting for whatever Newscum says is good ….. sad
Keep throwing money at the same issues (especially homelessness). Definition of Insanity- doing the same thing and expecting different results.
I don’t recall voting yes on any ballot measure in CA.
I do not trust the government in this state.
Or any other state for that matter.
This state spends (mis-spends) the billions it collects (steals) in tax revenue and wants more. It’s priorities don’t match mine and haven’t for years. It want to use taxpayer money to abolish parental rights, the rights of the unborn, victims rights, property rights, and rights of religious people while elevating the rights of criminals, illegal immigrants, homeless, and Marxist ideologues. It is one party rule and has disenfranchised those with different viewpoints.
It’s not who votes that counts…..
