personally, i didn't think the wording on 72 was quite right...
i looked up how many employees a "medium" sized company would have to be, to make them offer health care for their employees... and it's 50 people.
i didn't like how i had to look that up. it should have been stated in the description of the proposition.
i also don't like how it offers tons of "outs" for the larger corporations: they can make their full-time employees work less time, just so they don't have to offer health care (which is what albertson's has been doing to their employees for years!) and i also don't like the idea of these corporations moving out of california to other states, or even out of the country, because they don't want to provide health care.
i do believe that EVERYONE should be able to have health care available to them... but that isn't what this proposition is about.
about the three strikes, prop 66... i was on the fence about this one until last night. in all honesty, i believe that a crime is a crime and criminals need to be brought to justice. BUT i also think their sentence needs to be appropriate for the crime. no one should serve live in jail for stealing a snickers bar, or for diapers for their baby!!! since i couldn’t figure out which side i decided was fair, i voted how the Govenator said to…
prop A is one of them that i had to sit and think about... and even now, after i voted, i don't know if i am sure about the "right" decision... higher sales tax for more police??? i think we need more cops, but i also don't want to pay more on taxes! it's bad enough already!
and it’s a no brainer on prop. 71, for me. my mom is a paraplegic, and so there’s no question on this one.
**i just wished they would put a little bit more detail in the descriptions on all the propositions.**
