  1. I want to know what’s in the food on the grocery shelves before I choose to buy it; I’m voting YES on 37. I don’t want to empower corporations to have even MORE say in elections than they do already; I’m voting NO on 32. I don’t think it’s ethical or decent to ask people living below the poverty level to pay more taxes for education, so NO on 38 but YES on 30, so that community colleges as well as K-12 get much-needed funding. People who vote yes on 33 have NO idea what insurance does or how it works. NO on 33.

    • I am going simple. No on everything except the auto insurance one. Why on earth anyone would vote for higher taxes when we already have the highest taxes. If the State Government wants more of my money they need to prove to me that they are being good stewards of that money. Currently they blow through our money like crazy with little positive outcome.
