The elections are coming! The elections are coming! Since Tuesday is the midterm election, I thought we would break our normal routine and take the week to discuss the Propositions on the ballot. My plan is to work through them one at a time, trying to get a definitive understanding of each so you feel informed enough to vote on Tuesday. Ones with underlined links are ones we've finished discussing on the show, and the link jumps to my post on that Proposition, and the number indicates my support (0-100%, with my supported vote):
Prop 106: 90% Yes. Arizona opt-out from the Obamacare individual mandate.
Prop 107: 80% Yes. Ending public affirmative action programs.
Prop 109: 80% Yes. Make hunting, fishing, and harvesting of wildlife an Arizona Constitutional right.
Prop 110: 100% Yes. Giving Arizona the ability to exchange land in addition to selling it.
Prop 111: 40% No. Lieutenant Governor.
Prop 112: 100% Yes. Moving the deadline for initiative petitions up to May 1st from July 1st.
Prop 113: 95% Yes. Requiring secret ballots for organizing workplace unions.
Prop 203: 10% No. Permitting medical marijuana.
Prop 301: 60% Yes. Transfer funds set aside by Prop 303 in 1998 for land conservation back into the Arizona general fund.
Prop 302: 50.01% Yes. Transfers funds set aside by Prop 203 in 2006 for early childhood development and health back into the Arizona general fund but still for those purposes.
