http://www.co.clark.nv.us/election/2006/GEN/Quests_06.asp
I plan on voting on them as follows, anyone have insight on why I should vote differently than this?
1. Amend constitution for legislature to fund schools before rest of budget.
No, just a complete waste.
2. Amend constitution to on public use of emminent domain/
No, added too much crap to this and will hurt our city and prop values
3. thrown out
4. Preserve right to smoke in casinos, gaming areas, bars etc.
Yes, keeps our freedom to smoke
5. Prohibit smoking in restaurant bars and other places
No, takes away our freedoms
6. Raise minimum wage
No, as much as I like inflation, this would just push me closer to earning minimum wage instead of causing inflation.
7. Amend statutes to regulate, sale and tax marijuana
Yes, will reduce crime, move drug profits from criminals to state income, and increase our freedoms (prolly boost our tourism)
8. Allow full tax credit for Vehicle trade-ins and allow credit for farm machienery
Yes, less taxes for those who trade in... kinda on the fence on this one (I dont like the farm part)
9. Convert the Board of regents from 12 elected to 9 appointed
Yes, either appointed or elected we're gonna have the same bucnh of clowns. At least this way we'll have less of them.
10. Allow special sessions of legilature be called by the legislature instead of just the gov.
No, less special sessions the better I'd think
11. Pay legislators more for the 120 day session
No, Come on, like paying these bastards any more will get us better lawmakers.. puhleeze

on #4, smoking is still allowed in the following locations:
- casinos
- bars
- over 21 restaurants (those exist?)
- strip clubs
- brothels
- tobacco stores
- your home
- hotel rooms
- gaming areas in grocery stores and minimarts
on #5, smoking is still allowed in the following locations:
- casino areas where loitering by minors is prohibited
- bars that don't serve kitchen-prepared food
- strip clubs
- brothels
- tobacco stores
- your home
not sure how question 4 doesn't infringe on your freedoms but question 5 does. in my mind, the most siginificant difference between the two questions is the jurisdiction that accompanies them.
I guess they both infringe... Ill probably vote no on both. But number 4 is worded to guarentee the right to smoke in those places. No. 5 just is interpreted to still allow smothing in those places.
My home phone just received a call (recorded) from a Lutheran priest urging us to vote Yes on 7.
Jesus wants us to use marijuana I'm guessing.
i'm voting no on 4, yes on 5, but only because i'm totally about restricting people's rights and taking away their freedoms.
