Election 2018 is in full swing -- and now is the time to figure out how you're going to vote!
We’ve been holding discussions with panelists who, whether they are "for, " against" or "neutral," give us the straight talk on local/statewide propositions and races, and what it means if you vote yay or nay on each.
Listen to these “Policy and a Pint” podcasts before you mark your ballot. We’ve covered:
Proposition 1 - Bonds for affordable housing and veterans’ housing loans
Proposition 2 - Using the “millionaire’s tax” to create bonds that build housing for the homeless who need mental health services
Proposition 3 - The water bond
Proposition 5 - Changing property-tax assessments for certain homeowners who want to sell
Proposition 6 - Repealing of the 2017 gas tax
Proposition 10 - Making rent control laws easier to establish in California
Proposition 12 - Banning sales of meat and eggs from farm animals that live in cages smaller than a specific size
City of Sacramento’s Measure U - increasing the city’s sales tax, and making it permanent, in order to pay for city services and invest in other big-ticket items
