Resources for the California propositions

[amethyst73]

For my buddies in California who haven't voted yet (this includes me; I have my absentee ballot sitting on the table, which I will turn in to my polling place on Tuesday), here's a couple of useful links on the propositions.

A table of many institutions, newspapers, etc and their recommendations on the propositions

California Voter Foundation's list of links to information of who's financing what propositions

EDIT: An article in the Los Angeles Times that lists major proponents, opponents, and donors for/against each proposition. Now *that's* the kind of information I was looking for!

Happy voting!

VERY useful, thanks!

I'm "Joe Voter" who has to go to the actual polls on Tuesday, since I don't vote absentee. I'd been slowly doing my prop research, but this really helps.

Now if only I actually had a plan for things like local water board, and whatever else is on the agenda.

I'm glad this was helpful!

(1) Note that the recommendations list is at UC Berkeley, and perhaps as a result the collection of institutions represented on the table slants decidedly leftwards.

(2) What I haven't been able to find quite yet is a nice handy table that I remember seeing a couple of years ago that lists the top 10 spenders on advertising for and against each proposition. It was quite enlightening, and I'd really like to find a version of it for this year's bunch. I am starting to come to some decisions anyway.

Aha - found a slightly more useful money/proponents/opponents link!
