The SFist Guide To The SF Propositions
And concluding our series of Your Overly Simplistic Guides To The November 2006 Election, here's the SFist guide to the San Francisco propositions. (Here's our take on the state propositions and the Oakland city propositions, for those of you keeping track.)
If you're looking for better-informed information than the cursory one-sentence summaries we're going to provide to you after the jump, check out the SF Dept. of Elections and the San Francisco League of Women Voters.
Don't forget, the election's November 7.
Okay! After the jump -- it's school bonds, parking taxes, impeaching Bush and Cheney, and question time!
All links are in .pdf form. And here's a global pro and con analysis by the SF League of Women Voters, which is also in .pdf. Don't say we didn't warn you.
Proposition A: Bonds to fix up the schools. Pro: The schools need repair. Con: Why so many bonds?
Proposition B: Call-in meetings for new parents. Pro: Let new mom Michela Alioto-Pier call in for meetings while she's on maternity leave. Con: Hey, you're the one who wanted to have a kid.
Proposition C: Raises for local elected officials. Pro: The mayor, the DA, the PD, the sheriff, the treasurer, and the sheriff aren't being paid comparably to those officials in other counties. Con: Does Gavin really need a raise?
Proposition D: Privacy rules for the city. Pro: Don't let the city accidentally make you a victim of identity theft. Con: What about life post-9/11?
Proposition E: Parking tax increase. Pro: More money for public transportation. Con: Parking is already crazy expensive around here, Chris Daly (who sponsored the proposition). Plus, Gavin doesn't support it (he'll presumably find some other way to pay for those solar-powered parking meters, then).
Proposition F: Requiring paid sick leave. Pro: It's not your fault if you get sick. Con: Money doesn't grow on trees, Chris Daly.
Proposition G: No chain stores. Pro: Everyone loves Cole Hardware! Con: Home Depot's cheaper.
Proposition H: More money for evicted tenants. Pro: Poor tenants getting Ellis Acted out! Con: Poor homeowners who already had to spend so much money to buy the house in the first place!
Proposition I: It's Question Time! We've got some questions for the mayor! Pro: Make Gavin explain himself in front of the Board of Supes. Also, it'll be awesome to post on SFist about. Con: Why you gotta hate, Chris Daly? Note: passing the proposition doesn't require Question Time, it just "suggests" to the mayor that he should think about it.
Proposition J: Impeach Bush and Cheney. Pro: This war is kind of stupid. Con: This proposition is kind of stupid.
Proposition K: Learn about senior housing issues. Pro: Seniors have unique housing issues we should learn more about. Con: We hate you, Chris Daly.
