Putting your money where your mouth is -- That is patriotism.

And most cons voted against it of course

I assume that, without checking the stats what do you want to bet?

just sayin

And this vote was another historically LOW turn out of registered voters, so it was a vast MINORITY that voted it in...also just say'n.

in a few years colorado is going to have the best schools on the planet because of all the pot revenue money being dumped into them.

"Medical" marijuana shops are EVERY where.

I won't name them because I don't want to read the inevitable bashing of millions of good people because of the actions of a few but not all of California has medical marijuana shops.

Legalization will be on the 2016 ballot.

We lived in California in the 90s. Ballot measures allocating sums of money to lofty ideas were always approved. But the funds to support them were never included in the measures.

If we are willing to send people to fight for us and endure the horrors of war then we should fight for them to have a decent life when they return. JMO....

Basically, a number of years ago the voters here in California approved an initiative that would create a loan program for veterans, so they could buy homes, farms, and businesses. Because the bond rate is higher than the fed rate, their loans ended up being way more expensive than privately funded loans, so veterans haven't been using the program and the funds have been sitting there unused, and most of the previously approved bonds were never sold.

Yesterdays measure redirected a big chunk of the funds from that program into a new effort that will more directly house homeless veterans. It really was a no-brainer.

Thanks for the thread, think.
