	California ballot proposition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A California ballot proposition is a method of amending either the California Constitution or California statutory law, under the initiative and referendum process.
		In the U.S. state of California, state laws may be proposed directly by the public, as well as the state's Constitution may be amended either by public petition or by the legislature submitting a proposed constitutional amendment to the electorate.
		Starting in 1982, the proposition numbers were not reused but would continue to increment until at least a decade had passed from when a particular one had appeared on the ballot, eventually resulting in proposition numbers exceeding 200.

	Proposition 59 (Nov. 2004)
		Proposition 59 was placed on the November 2004 ballot by the legislature as Senate Constitutional Amendment 1 (John Burton and Bruce McPherson, principal authors), which passed the Senate in June 2003 on a unanimous 34-0 vote, and the Assembly in January 2004 on a 78-0 vote.
		It would amend Article I, Section 3 of the California Constitution which declares that the people have "the right to instruct their representatives, petition government for redress of grievances, and assemble freely to consult for the common good." The amendment would add public access to government information as a right.

	My Views on Prop 87
		The proposition's impact on State taxation and expenditures has many complexities including its effect on other oil property tax assessments and the associated tax revenues and its effect on state mandates for schools to get a fixed percentage of tax revenues.
		Opponents of the proposition argue that while they might support funding for alternative transportation energy, the bureaucracy that this proposition would create would be wasteful and have little or no public oversight or accountability.
		One aspect of the tax imposed by the proposition has been mentioned in the press as being a bit uncertain, whether the progressive tax rate is a marginal or overall rate.

		Unless you live in California, this won't be interesting at all (but California residence is no guarantee of "interesting").
		In addition to the usual menagerie of candidates, we also have a lot of propositions on the ballot this November, and the pair of Voter Information Guides explaining them are almost 200 pages long.
		These propositions are often complex with subtle/hidden points that are easy to miss, and I'm often influenced when some previously-unknown data point is brought to light.

	Taxable Talk - California
		The argument for Proposition 86 is that smoking kills, and increasing the tax will (a) lessen the number of smokers, (b) allow funding for lots of needed programs, and (c) lead to research that might cure cancer and other diseases.
		The argument against Proposition 86 is that (a) we would create another bureaucracy, (b) most of the funding doesn't go towards stopping smoking but goes toward hospitals that don't need the money, and (c) increasing the tax on cigarettes to the nation's highest will lead to an increase in fl market cigarettes and crime.

		Moreover, under Proposition 187, frontline, untrained state employees decide who ``has apparent illegal status'' or is here ``in violation of law'' and therefore ineligible for benefits.*19 Those who bear the bad news are deputized to direct the applicant to leave the country, effectively to issue what may easily be taken as a deportation order.
		(4) Proposition 187 was approved by the electors of California on Nov.
		Hence, Proposition 187's inclusion of one qualifying category -- those admitted temporarily -- seems cynical, although it may simply be inartful or reflect the failure to track the language of federal legislation.
