Culver City: Vote Yes on Measures BL and VY
Local ballot measures are often of great importance to how residents of a city experience their lives there, and Measures BL and VY on Culver City’s November 8 ballot certainly fit that bill. We encourage Culver City voters to support both measures.
ENDORSEMENT: Vote Yes on Proposition 28
Politicians – usually conservative ones – love to talk tough on education issues, saying things like, “We need to get back to the basics – reading, writing, and math!” This continues to be true, and is perhaps growing worse, the longer the country remains so bitterly divided and is in constant cultural warfare. We already know the Republican Party is retreating from any support of truthful science, and we’re fairly terrified of exactly what kind of science will be taught going forward in solidly red/conservative states. But that’s not what’s on the ballot with Proposition 28, which is an effort to increase arts and music education programs that were on the chopping block well before debates over climate change or COVID-19.
ENDORSEMENT: Vote Yes on Proposition 30
Governor Gavin Newsom is making it his mission this election year to defeat Proposition 30. He’s certainly spending more time as a spokesperson against it than he is getting himself re-elected. So, what is Proposition 30? In short, it’s a measure that would tax the very rich to fund electric vehicle infrastructure and wildfire prevention programs. Specifically, Prop 30 would:
ENDORSEMENT: Vote NO on Propositions 26 and 27
You can’t watch television these days without being assaulted by ads for and against Proposition 27. The proponents of 27 have also invested a great deal to turn Californians against Proposition 26, a measure that would allow gaming tribes in California to offer sports betting in person at tribal casinos and horseracing tracks, as well as allowing them to add roulette and some dice games to their portfolio.
