California State Propositions

Proposition	Vote	Description
Proposition 51	No	$9 billion in bonds for education and schools. Opposed for same reasons as Gov Jerry Brown.
Proposition 52	Yes	Voter approval of changes to the hospital fee program. Supported because money from the federal government allocated for a special purpose should be used for that purpose.
Proposition 53	No	Projects that cost more than $2 billion. Opposed for samee reasons as CA Democratic Party.
Proposition 54	Yes	Conditions under which legislative bills can be passed. Supported because citizens should be able to review and contact their legislators regarding a bill’s final form before the legislators votes.
Proposition 55	No	Personal income tax increases on incomes over $250,000. I'm ok with this conceptually, but $250k is too low. Tax millionaires, not the equivalent of middle class in California. As the LA Times said, “The tax system that Proposition 55 locks in place until 2030 is fiscally, politically and socially unsound, and voters should reject it and demand that the Legislature produce something better”
Proposition 56	Yes	Increase the cigarette tax by $2.00 per pack. Why not…
Proposition 57	Yes	Felons convicted of non-violent crimes. Supported because increasing parole considerations for non-violent offenders will help overcrowded jails.
Proposition 58	Yes	Bilingual education in public schools. Supported because local school systems should be allowed to use the language for teaching that best serve its students.
Proposition 59	Yes	State's position on Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. This is a stupid abuse of the proposition system and doesn’t do shit, but I support any effort to affirm that corporations aren’t people.
Proposition 60	No	Require the use of condoms in pornographic films. Opposed because consenting adults should be allowed to make decisions for themselves.
Proposition 61	No	Prescription drug price regulations. Opposed because drug companies will either increase prices for the United States Department of Veterans Affairs or refuse to sell to them. This is bad policy.
Proposition 62	Yes	Repeal the death penalty.
Proposition 63	Yes	Background checks for ammunition purchases.
Proposition 64	Yes	Legalization of marijuana and hemp.
Proposition 65	No	Give disposable bag revenue to Wildlife Conservation Fund. Opposed because group behind this proposition is against the bag tax.
Proposition 66	No	Death penalty procedures changes. Opposed because I'm supporting Proposition 62.
Proposition 67	Yes	Prohibition on plastic single-use carryout bags similar to San Francisco’s law

San Francisco City & Region Propositions

Proposition	Vote	Description
Proposition A	Yes	SFUSD bond measure
Proposition B	Yes	City College of San Francisco parcel tax
Proposition C	Yes	Reallocate unspent seismic upgrade bond money to housing
Proposition D	No	Hold special election for unexpected city supervisor vacancies. No, wasteful ($340k per incident) and unnecessary (the current rules are fine)
Proposition E	No	Make the city responsible for sidewalk trees. Opposed because homeowners should do their part to keep our city nice and this is expensive.
Proposition F	No	Lower city voting age to 16. Opposed because it violates state law and would result in expensive litigation with the state.
Proposition G	Yes	Rename existing department that oversees police conduct and give it more independence.
Proposition H	No	Create new city agency for public interactions. Opposed due to new $3.5M annual cost.
Proposition I	No	Force allocation of budget for senior care. Opposed because Supervisors should keep budget agility.
Proposition J	No	Force allocation of budget for transportation and homelessness services. Opposed because Supervisors should keep budget agility.
Proposition K	Yes	Sales tax increase in response to state sales tax decrease
Proposition L	No	Disempower the Mayor from doing their job regarding Muni
Proposition M	No	Create yet more overhead for building housing
Proposition N	No	Permit non-citizen voting. Opposed because it violates state law and would result in expensive litigation with the state.
Proposition O	Yes	Allow Hunters Point development to have add more office space than typically permitted. Supported because: Build, baby, build!
Proposition P	No	Increase bullshit to increase housing
Proposition Q	No	Make the lives of people living in tents on sidewalks shittier
Proposition R	No	Force allocation of police force to do monitor neighborhood crime. Opposed because SFPD should keep allocation agility.
Proposition S	No	Force allocation of budget from hotel tax revenue. Opposed because Supervisors should keep budget agility.
Proposition T	Yes	Additional restrictions on gifts/donations from lobbyists to politicians
Proposition U	No	Increase income qualification for affordable housing
Proposition V	No	The fucking soda tax again. Opposed because this is nanny-state non-sense. A 1.5 cent tax will not change anyone's behavior. If we want to curb sugar consumption, we should tax sugar itself, not one product containing it. The best strategy for that would be to end federal corn subsidies responsible for the primary source of sugar in the US. This proposition adds regulation without accomplishing anything.
Proposition W	No	Increase sales tax on expensive real estate. Opposed because Supervisors have stated an intent to use the new revenue to fund street tree maintenance (really) and make already-affordable City College tuition-free.
Proposition X	No	Increase bullshit to increase housing—in the name of Art.
Measure RR	Yes	Bond for BART
