Ballot measures

Not sure how many of you are still counting yourselves California residents, but I'd like to hear thoughts on them if you've got them. Hitme.

By the way, my quizzes (with solutions) are posted on my webpage. Do take a look at them, if you would. I've got a bone to pick with some high school math teachers. I'm sure now that HW was probably worth the money--certainly Inanchy and Metzger.
