Good point, Jost. The problem is with 87 -- because I am in favor of taxing the oil companies for oil they extract from California. I think that's a really good idea.I'm a lot less enthusiastic, though, about that commission for renewable energy sources...
Problem I'm having with it, though, is that I'm afraid if I vote against that commission, no one will consider asking again for taxes from the oil companies. Does that make sense? So, I might end up voting for it, no matter how I feel, because of that.
As for the ads, it's a guy allegedly representing the police and fire unions. I say allegedly only because who knows what the rank and file really think. And I can't quite tell if it's the actual unions that are against it -- or some 527 sort of organization with a misleading name.
