Well, its that time of year again folks, when pretend to vote and they pretend to count our votes!
The hefty California Official Voter Information Guide arrived the other day and is now on my bedside table, where it can fuel dreams of democracy and Fascism.
The California state and local propositions always strike me as an excellent exercise in democracy. We in Sonoma County have 16 propositions to come to grips with, inlcuding Measures F (Sonoma County Open Space, Clean Water and Farmland Protection) and R (SMART). I have to admit I have yet to tune into any of it. With the election less than a month away, it seems time to start, so there is a chance to get a deeper understanding of some of the issues at stake.
So as I kick off my own personal investigation I thought it would both helpful and fun to do it with you guys! Larry Robinson has already weighed in with his reccomendations. Anybody else want to post your reccomendations? I think it would be most helpful if you included your reasoning behind your choices. Or how about some questions? And what about all those judges and school board elections?
I invite you to discuss any election related issues here in the Generally Community category. Start new threads or reply to existing ones as seems most appropriate and I'll try to keep it somewhat orderly.
