Proposition 2: Sure
Proposition 2 is a $10 billion bond that may fund repairs for California’s public faculties and group schools, a lot of that are run-down and lack primary performance, comparable to air-con.
Proposition 3: Sure
Proposition 3 provides Californians a possibility to formally surrender a wrongful second in our voting historical past and step ahead to positively affirm that bigotry towards same-sex {couples} has no place in our state or its Structure.
Proposition 4: Sure
Proposition 4 is a $10 billion seize bag of spending on local weather, hearth prevention, power, conservation and agriculture tasks so disparate that this bond measure nearly defies categorization. However it’s nonetheless higher to spend cash immediately to arrange for local weather change than to pay way more to reply sooner or later.
Proposition 5: Sure
Proposition 5 would get California nearer to majority rule by decreasing the brink to cross native bond measures to 55% as a substitute of 66.7%. We expect it’s a fairer method to make spending and taxing choices. Requiring supermajority help provides disproportionate energy to the naysayers to resolve the suitable stage of taxation and spending. Why ought to one-third of voters get to set priorities for a complete group?
Proposition 6: Sure
Proposition 6 will take away the language within the state Structure that enables prisons to drive incarcerated folks to work and punish them after they refuse. If we wish folks to emerge from jail rehabilitated — and if we care about public security, we should always — that requires permitting them to entry as many alternatives as attainable to get an training, be taught a ability and get therapy to finest put together them for a productive life.
Proposition 32: Sure
Proposition 32 would give the state’s lowest-paid employees a modest elevate, setting the minimal wage to $18 an hour in January, up from the scheduled $16.50 underneath present regulation. Companies with 25 or fewer employees would have till 2026 to start out paying $18 an hour. Incomes a good wage shouldn’t be a privilege afforded to individuals who occur to work in a metropolis that has the next native minimal wage, and elevating base pay statewide is extra equitable than a patchwork of guidelines for various areas and industries.
Proposition 33: No
Proposition 33 would repeal a state regulation that restricts native governments’ capability to increase hire management. However it goes too far by together with sweeping language that may prohibit the state from imposing any limits on hire controls set by cities and counties sooner or later, even when they stymie housing development.
Proposition 34: No
AIDS Healthcare Basis calls this a “revenge initiative,” and we agree. Proposition 34 would change the principles for healthcare suppliers in ways in which appear designed to chop off the muse’s tenant advocacy. Voters ought to emphatically reject Proposition 34 and ship the message that they won’t tolerate such a weaponization of the state’s citizen initiative course of.
Proposition 35: No
Proposition 35 entails a tax on managed-care organizations, Medi-Cal reimbursement charges for medical suppliers, federal healthcare funding and the state finances. It’s difficult policymaking that’s higher suited to the full-time Legislature.
Proposition 36: No
Proposition 36 received’t finish homelessness or crime waves. Present legal guidelines already give police the instruments to cease petty thieves and smash-and-grab robbers. Proposition 36 will solely refill prisons, push extra folks to the streets and erase felony justice reform progress. And it could suck up a lot of the funding Californians just lately permitted for psychological well being care and intestine applications which have efficiently slashed recidivism.
