Since nobody asked, here's our family's take-away on the #California #Propositions:

* #Prop2 - Yes. Why: some of our local K-12 schools need desperate repairs, we're for a state bond to help share the cost and invest in our education facilities.

* #Prop3 - Yes. Why: lots of progressive reasons, but especially after reading the "Argument Against" section (always read what the nut jobs think, it's very informative)

* #Prop4 - Yes. Why: we need to invest in climate change protections, especially after critical dam failures, wildfire risks, etc.

* #Prop5 - Yes. Why: torn on this, but we get frustrated when public benefit is hamstrung by minority votes that prefer NIMBYism. This prop allows majority votes for funding affordable housing, count us in.

* #Prop6 - Yes. Why: when our kids learned about involuntary servitude and serfdom/feudalism, it was tough to explain that some of those "terrible things" are still alive and well in our prison system.
