Handy Links To California November Ballot Propositions

Like it or not, California invariably includes a number of propositions on every statewide ballot and that always means more time to invest in an attempt to figure out what they really mean unless you just plan to use a dart board.  This November will be no different so I've assembled a few links for you to use in attempting to sort out the good from the bad and the ugly.  I've also included a few opinions of my own for what they're worth and, as usual, I'm against most anything that gives the state more money.  In my humble opinion, California is already far overextended and views it's citizens as a never ending source of funds for all manner of socialist programs.  It's time for the voters to force our elected officials to get California out of our pockets and back to fiscal responsibility.
