Statewide Propositions:

Proposition 19: NO (Marijuana legalization.)

Proposition 20: YES  (This would allow the independent State Commission on Redistricting to re-draw the Congressional Districts in the same manner as they are already authorized by Proposition 11 to re-draw the Legislative District boundaries.)

Proposition 21: NO  (This would increase the Vehicle License Fee by $18, but in return taxpayers would allegedly receive free parking at state parks, at least until the Democrats find some other way to tax people who seek to use public parks.)

Proposition 22: NEUTRAL  (This initiative would prevent the Legislature from raiding local government funds, as defined.  Among many other things, it would explicitly protect redevelopment funding, which has historically been used for corporate welfare, crony capitalism, and eminent domain abuse.)

Proposition 23: YES  (This is the California Jobs Initiative to suspend AB 32.)

Proposition 24: NO  (This is a $2 billion tax increase aimed at businesses, which are already struggling to stay in business without leaving California.)

Proposition 25: NO  (This initiative would eliminate the two-thirds vote requirement for passage of the state budget and it would cause legislators to forfeit their salaries and travel allowances if the budget is not adopted by June 15 each year.  Although the ballot summary claims that it would leave the current two-thirds requirement for tax increases unchanged, the text of the amendment itself makes it certain that the Democrats could increase taxes by majority vote, too.)

Proposition 26: YES  (Requires a two-thirds vote for certain fee increases.   This initiative fixes the damage done by the California Supreme Court in the infamous Sinclair Paint case.)

Proposition 27: NO  (Eliminates the independent State Commission on Redistricting.)
