November 2000

Partisan Candidates

Easy, vote Democrat. Although Gore is ahead in California, I don’t think Nader is a good vote

Judges

Bernadini and Priest. Good records for good causes. I don’t like PORAC endorsements.

County Board of Education

Liederman. I know her personally, and the other candidate didn’t even bother to submit a statement

El Camino Hospital

Curatola, Bough. Both know the business, and Lee doesn’t strike me as having a broad enough perspective. Of course, the others don’t count since they don’t have statements.

Open Space

Your old jr. high teacher Jed Cyr is the best choice. The others are clueless.

Local Measures

A

Yes. BART, light rail, CalTrain. All transit. This is good. Mayor’s big push.

B

Yes. flood control bonds. We need them, even though the Water District is not entirely competent.

S

Sunnyvale Fluoridation.
Your call. Crackpots oppose it, but for the wrong reasons. The argument for sounds reasonable, but misses the point. I’ll vote no, but not with enthusiasm. Should the water supply be used as an inefficient delivery system for a prescription dietary supplement?

Propositions

32

No.I always vote no on Vet bonds, figuring why should they get the benefit of affordable housing when so many others need it.

33

This corrects a little bit of the excess from aprevious measure a few years ago that should not have passed that put in legislative term limits and other nonsense that guaranteed mediocrity in the State Legislature (we love the initative process!)

34

No. Trojan horse campaign reform. Would cancel earlier better reforms.

35

Yes. Breaks up closed shop and inefficiencies in state contracting services. Nothing new for most local governments, but big controversy among entrenched bureaucrats.

36

Yes. Drug decriminalization. Sounds good to me, tho’ it won’t pass. Law ’n order folks going nuts on this.

37

NO NO. Stupid anti-environment libertarian bullshit that increases barriers to reasonable regulation.

38

NO NO. School vouchers. Stupid anti-schools measures that redistributes wealth to the wealthy while shortchanging public schools.

39

Yes. Reduces requirements for schools to get bonds passed. A tiny correction to stupid Prop 13 22 years ago that screwed up schools in the first place.
