I voted earlier this afternoon in my mostly Democratic Precinct. The turn-out so far today is virtually non-existent. Not a good sign for the Dems.

Voted No across the board.

You want to increase people's property taxes if they retrofit their buildings to make them safer? Reinforced masonry buildings are already exempt from reassessment - but less safe buildings are reassessed. So you are all for punishing people for making the least safe buildings better able to stand up in an earthquake.

Sick.

No, I don't trust ANY propositions written. They most often end up doing exactly the opposite than what they lead us to believe. Deny the truth of that.

Then you are an idiot. It's just as stupid to vote yes on everything as it is to vote no. The language of this year's Prop 13 is quite clear. There wasn't even enough opposition to it to provide an argument against it in the voter information guide.

And when they dig a hole deep enough that they cannot get out of...as they have now...they'll demand the other 49 States bail them out.

You obviously have more faith in paid Proposition writers than I do. I voted NO on everything...as I always do.
