Proposition 19 - Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010

Provide fairer, common-sense districts that will make representatives more accountable.
Proposition 21 – Vehicle License Fee for State Parks and Wildlife Programs

Proposition 26 - Requires that Certain State and Local Fees Be Approved by 2/3 Vote
SUPPORT
Overturns a Supreme Court decision, which gutted voter-enacted protections, & thus ends politicians’ practice of imposing taxes by simple majority vote by calling them “fees.”
