Don’t forget to vote on California Ballot Propositions when you cast your ballot for Presidential candidates—otherwise other voters will be deciding these important state issues for you.

Need more information? Here’s a listing of articles on the California Progress Report on each of the ballot propositions and a list of other references where you can find out what you need to know to cast an informed vote.

Proposition 91 is a Constitutional Amendment on transportation funding. All you need to do is to consult your voter guide from the Secretary of State’s Office and you’ll see right here that the proponents who have placed this on the ballot have the only argument—and they say to vote no because it is no longer needed. This one is easy--don't mess up the state constitution with this one.

For articles on Proposition 92, the community college funding and fees initiative, read our articles.

On Proposition 93, term limit reform, we have dozens of articles.

We’ve been following Propositions 94 through 97 on tribal casinos and slot machines even before they made it onto the ballot and have dozens of articles on them. Remember that since this is a referendum, you vote yes to confirm this expansion of slot machines as passed by the legislature or no to reject them overturn the legislature.

If you want to examine this issue in depth, you may be especially interested in a three part series of articles from a lengthy study by a college professor who is an expert on tribal casinos:
