Someday soon, I want to post my position on immigration (I'm very for it), but I'm all for weakening the current laws. So, I'm a pretty solid yes on 202.<BR/><BR/>I'm still pretty undecided on 201 and you make some good points. I want to feel like I fully understand the consequences both ways before I feel comfortable with any vote here.<BR/><BR/>I'm still leaning fairly strong to a no vote on both 100 and 101. I just don't think we should restrict ourselves tax wise on 100. 101 is trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist.tempe turleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00906350838729139212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5939543443166847471.post-58390651847433502582008-10-18T22:29:00.000-07:002008-10-18T22:29:00.000-07:00Scott, here's a few things we discovered in our vo...Scott, here's a few things we discovered in our voting class yesterday...<BR/><BR/>Prop 201, (I'm voting NO!) I think this is another proposition that is worded to make you think it's a good idea. The part that really concerns me is that if there is any dispute between a contractor and a buyer it MUST be settled in court, both parties MUST utilize lawyers, and lawyer fees can NOT be paid in a settlement. To me, this means that if I have a problem with a home I intend to buy (you don't even have to have signed anything) and I want to dispute it with the builders then I have to hire and pay a lawyer, win or lose.<BR/><BR/>Prop 202 (another NO!) This has nothing to do with stopping illegal hiring, but more to do with lessening the penalties on employees that do hire them. It should be called "Employer Amnesty" (I didn't make that up, someone else did). If this proposition passed it would give employers 2 stikes before anything is done to them, AND it would require that the Federal Govt. take action before the state could do anything. Furthermore, if caught, an owner's businesses within that state would be shut down, but other locations out of state could remain open.<BR/><BR/>I also have marked down a possible yes on 100 and yes on 101 but I don't have time to get into it right now...

If the prop. passed would it be easier and more economical to visit these types of Dr.'s?<BR/><BR/>Prop 105 (I agree with a NO vote) There were 5 propositions listed that were highly publicized that would NOT have passed if this law were intact. Interesting.<BR/><BR/>Prop 200. Funny how Pay Day Loan people can put forth a prop. to make it sound like we are restricting their loans. Vote NO!<BR/><BR/>That's as far as I've gotten.Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889554974006623288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5939543443166847471.post-84008239045799426972008-10-02T23:49:00.000-07:002008-10-02T23:49:00.000-07:00Well, the Tucson Citizen said this about Sandra Ke...Well, the Tucson Citizen said this about Sandra Kennedy: They were "unimpressed" by her and wrote that she had a "dearth of knowledge" about what the Corporation Commission does. The Tucson Weekly called Sam George (formerly Sam Vagenas) "sleazy." The Citizen wrote it was "troubled that [Sam George] changed his name in 2004 from Sam Vagenas...As Vagenas, he helped get two pro-marijuana ballot issues passed in Arizona, though the Legislature later gutted them. State investigators also linked him to fake 'internal memos' circulated during the 2002 gubernatorial race, falsely claiming Janet Napolitano, as attorney general, covered up the Colorado City polygamy crisis." The Phoenix New Times writes: "George's third pro-marijuana initiative would have freed medical marijuana users to deal drugs to kids and actually required the Department of Public Safety to give out pot, for free."

The three Dems are just marketing themselves as such. The candidate statements in the Clean Elections booklet are a great start in researching them.

I was all about solar, but now I may have to leave Sam George high and dry. It does seem to me that this man is playing a bit dirty with some facts that can't be disputed. (I assume that even The New Times gets it straight when they report his name change and his sueing for a recount when he ran for a water board position in 2006). I want solar!!! So Kennedy and Newman will probably still get my vote, unless something really nasty comes up that involves them alone and not Sam George. <BR/><BR/>OUT OUT #$%@ JOE! I'm for Saban as well.<BR/><BR/>I'll get back with you on the rest since I haven't studied as much as I should have yet.
