Odds and Ends 10/25/06

by: Brian Leubitz

Wed Oct 25, 2006 at 10:06:17 AM PDT


I'm running a bit behind, so it will be a bit short today. Teasers: Willie is for...Willie, John Chiang needs our help, A Dependent Judiciary, Prop 90, and a mock vote.
Brian Leubitz :: Odds and Ends 10/25/06
  • Willie Brown supports well, whomever will pay attention to him.  In May, it was Westly, Today, it's Arnold, tomorrow??

  • Arnold is pretending to be anti-Bush again.  Hmm, he's angry about a lack of a plan for global warming? Well, he could start by rescinding that executive order.

  • The O.C. board of Supes, well, they don't care much about Tan Nguyen's letter.

  • Both candidates for governor are failing to do the right thing on Prop 90.  This is ridiculous pandering.  Just call a spade a spade. Prop 90 will be extremely harmful to the state.

  • An Indian gaming coalition is trying to buy the controller's office. John Chiang needs our support.

  • Judges shouldn't be elected at all.  But as long as they are, vote no on McGuiness.Oh, and the New Jersey same-sex marriage case should be handed down in a few hours.

  • Students at California's high schools are voting in mock elections. Maybe they would do a better job than their parents.

    how hard will it be to get rid of 90? (0.00 / 0)
    I see it is a constitutional ammend. Does that mean 2/3?

    I'm curious to see more recent polling on 90.


    Nope (0.00 / 0)
    Unfortunately you don't need extra votes for an amendment.  Pretty stupid, huh?

    We need real reform of the initative process, along with about 15 other structural reforms.

    I think?

    but if it does pass, (0.00 / 0)
    do you need 2/3 to get RID of it, thats what I'm wondering. Obviously, would prefer not to have it pass in the first place, but eek, just in case, I'm just curious...

    New Jersey (0.00 / 0)
    Bri, any comments on the NJ decision? I'm kind of surprised that the reaction from many has been unqualified celebration, while the fact that it didn't go all the way doesn't seem to be getting that much attention.

    Penny for your thoughts? Actually, that's a lie, I'm not really going to send a penny. =)


    The NJ decision just leaves NJ in the same situation as us (0.00 / 0)
    4 Justices basically said the same thing as William McGuiness (VOTE NO!!).  That

    In CA, the LGBT community basically has the same rights in domestic partnership.  That's what the NJ decision does. However, the real inequity is the name. The semantics really do matter.

    I'm not convinced there's much cause for celebration. I'm sure it could be worse, but it could have been better.

    I think?
