Monterey County Hospitality Association Recommendations on California Propositions on the February 5, 2008 Ballot. The Monterey County Hospitality Association has studied the seven propositions that appear on the February 5, 2008 Presidential Primary ballot and makes these vote recommendations: Proposition 91 - Vote NO The sponsors of this measure ask for a No vote. The problems the sponsors sought to solve, a correction of language weaknesses in Proposition 42 mandating that sales taxes on motor vehicle fuels be devoted to transportation projects, were fixed when voters approved Proposition 1A last year. When the voters approved 1A, it was too late to stop the process of getting Proposition 91 on the ballot.
Proposition 92 - Vote NO This measure would amend state law and the California Constitution to change the method of governance for community colleges and lock-in the amount of the state budget that is devoted to community college funding much like Proposition 98 did for K-12 school funding. MCHA agrees that community colleges should receive adequate funding to perform their missions but does not believe a fixed formula is the proper way to accomplish this.
Proposition 93 - Vote NO This measure would alter California’s voter-approved term limits law which mandates an individual can serve a maximum of six years in the State Assembly and a maximum of eight years in the State Senate. If passed an individual could serve a maximum of 12 years in the legislature but all 12 years could be served in the same house of the legislature. MCHA does not think this would provide any benefit to California and would partially defeat the purpose of term limits.
Propositions 94, 95, 96 and 97 - MCHA takes no position. |
