ParticipantThought on prop 17 (continuous insurance discount portability), following the law of unintended consequences:
Mercury Insurance is the biggest sponsor of this prop (like PG&E for prop 16 the energy one). It is really unclear what happens to soldiers who have been deployed, who sell their cars and cancel their insurance because they don’t need it, and then come back. Since a bigger pool of people will qualify for the discount, a smaller pool must logically pick up the difference in premiums. I can’t figure out if that smaller pool will include people who have left the state or the country.
Basically, I’ll only vote yes on a prop if it clears the following hurdles:
1) Do I fully understand what it is offering? (This is where most fail, because they are so badly written)
2) Do I agree it is a good idea?
3) Do I think that this is an effective implementation?No wonder it takes me so long to vote…

ParticipantA few picks: Meg for Gov
Carly for SenatorWhat do you think of this link for superior court judges? http://www.judgevoterguide.com/
For the props, a good compilation site:
http://californiachoices.org/ballot-measures/endorsementsProp 16 has Pacific Gas and Electric as a major funder…. I’m voting no.
I’m voting yes on Prop 14 and 15.
Voting no on Prod D, strong mayor, because it saves a million dollars during a tight financial time for city and state.
