A number of people have asked me for a list of my recommendatons for the November ballot. Although I would prefer that everyone study the voter guide and make their own decisions, I recognize that not everyone has the time to wade through it all. So I offer the following as simply the opinions and preferences of one man. Do whatever you want with it, but what whatever you do, please vote on November 7!
