Election Day With Content Conley

The Day is FINALLY here, after over a year of contentious political fighting and wall to wall coverage of politics, the day is finally here. I wanted to write something a little more California Focused so I will be giving you my Picks on the California Propositions. I'm not going to delve into the Presidential race, but #Imwithher, because there are a Billion Blogs about that today. So, without Further ado, Proposition Picks with Content Conley:

Prop 51: ​$9 billion in bonds for education and schools

More money for Public Schools?
Easy yes

Prop 52: ​Voter approval of changes to the hospital fee program

not 100 percent sure on this one, but i believe yes gives the people more of a  voting power which i am for. make your own judgement on this one, but i'm voting.
yes

Prop 53: Projects that cost more than $2 billion

this comes down to voters basically having to approve monies being given out for big projects in the state. I think this would waste of time, and we should leave that up to the elected's 
NO

Prop 54: ​Conditions under which legislative bills can be passed

A yes vote forces bills to be published online for 72 hours before voting. IF you think gridlock is bad now, this will make it even worse. 
No

Prop 55: ​Extension of personal income tax on incomes over $250,000

make the rich pay their fair share. easy
Yes

Prop 56: ​Increase the cigarette tax by $2.00 per pack

I worry this can be a slippery slope that can be later applied to other things deemed unhealty. I'm anti- cigarets, but this makes me nervous
​no

Prop 57: ​Felons convicted of non-violent crimes and juvenile trials

I'm split on this because I agree with the parole part of this but not with removing the prosecutions decision on where to prosecute. That being said, overcrowding needs to be addressed.

-Yes

Prop 58: Bilingual education in public school

We live in a multicultural state and our education system should reflect that. 
​Yes

Prop 59: State's position on Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission
​

Easiest decision of the day. Citizens United ruined politics.

​Yes

Prop 60: ​Require the use of condoms in pornographic films

This is a gross overstep by government, and will effect the industry in CA to a huge detriment.

​-No

Prop 61: ​Prescription drug price regulations

The more I read about this, the easier it has become for me to say...
​Yes

Prop 62: ​Repeal the death penalty

Takes away from a family chance to get full closure.
​No

Prop 63: ​Background checks for ammunition purchases

Uhhh ya think? NO Duhh.
Yes

Prop 64: Legalization of marijuana and hem

Large added revenue to the state, and it can help millions of people.
​Yes

Prop 65: ​Grocery and retail carry-out bags

this takes the funds from those sales and puts them towards the wildlife conservation fund. See no Problem there.
​Yes

Prop 66: ​Death penalty procedures get speed up

Yes for the same reason I voted against 62. I think the system takes far to long, and this will be effective change on that front.

​Yes

Prop 67: Prohibition on plastic single-use carryout bags

Here's the deal: I love having plastic bags, they're convient as hell and i never rememeber those reusable bags. I know its terrible for the enviorment so with a heavy heart i vote...

No.

Thats all of them folks, enjoy election day and praise god we don't have to watch anymore hack political adds. Go Vote!
