The above comments on the propositions were made by Brian Leubitz. Generally, I agree with Brian's views on the propositions, and will probably be voting YES on 30, 34, 35, 36, 37 and NO on 31, 32, 33, 38 and 39.
What about you?

How will you vote on 40?
I voted no on Prop 40. I don't trust the redistricting commission since Republicans are over-represented on it, though most people think independent redistricting actually helps Democrats in California since they are roughly 2/3rds of the voters.
Voted YES on 30, 34, 35, 36 ,37 and 39. NO on al the rest (31,32,33,38,40)
