Is this what those are about? They're sponsored by the Western Petroleum Institute or something like that, so I've been working under the assumption that I should support whatever it is they're decrying.

I got a new car two months ago and so far I've been matching the combined city/highway rating or even exceeding it slightly, but I came up 1 MPG short on pure highway driving. My car before that, I fell square in the middle (city 20 mpg, highway 26 mpg; I averaged about 22-23 most of the time.)

Street fighting is a bad thing but it's hard to get too upset when Nazis are involved. Anyway is there anything else to talk about? This is getting tedious. I guess Brown signed a new budget?

FCKGW posted:The 91 express was a very successful experiment so now they're coming to every single freeway in SoCal. I-15 through the IE doesn't have HOV lanes and is getting very crowed due to tremendous growth in the area so when they started planning on widening the freeway they decided to add 1 HOV and 1 general purpose lane. This annoys me for some reason

Any thoughts on Prop. 54 (state law transparency proposal?) Kind of not sure what to make of it, although I'm suspicious of ballot measures that affect the legislative process directly.

So what's the deal with Prop 52? On balance it seems fine, but it seems like it makes itself harder to change, which is one of the things I hate about the proposition system.

Also, one of the ballot guides has this to say about Prop 51:quote:In addition, Proposition 51 would allow developers or homebuilders to pay only half the cost of a school construction project, even if that project benefits their housing development.* How much do they pay now?

I didn't really think about what would happen if the drug companies just refused to sell at that price, leaving the state with no leverage to enforce the proposition. Howdy, also-voted buddy.

Trying to get my mail-in ballot filled out. Does anyone have a little more info on Prop. 3? Most of the other bond issue propositions seems to have more support than this one and I'm curious as to why. Also, who the gently caress are all these judges? How do I find out?
