California propositions (revised)

Here are my current views about the California propositions, now that I've read the San Francisco Bay Guardian endorsements.

• Prop. 1A: Protection of Local Government Revenues -- No; excessively limits changes in future funding patterns.
  
• Prop. 59: Public Records, Open Meetings – Yes; open government is a good thing.
• Prop. 60: Election Rights of Political Parties – Yes; mainly to prevent the odious Prop. 62 from taking effect.
• Prop. 60A: Surplus Property – No; there are already too many nitpicky rules about government spending.
• Prop. 61: Children’s Hospital Projects. Grant Program. Bond Act – Yes; how can I turn down children’s hospitals, even with the massive bond burden?
• Prop. 62: Elections. Primaries – No; voters in a primary should belong to the relevant party, and blocking third parties from the November ballot is just wrong.
• Prop. 63: Mental Health Services Expansion, Funding. Tax on Personal Incomes Above $1 Million – Yes; taxing the rich to pay for mental health care is a no-brainer.
• Prop. 64: Limits on Private Enforcement of Unfair Business Competition Laws – No; class-action lawsuits are one of the few forces fighting corporate injustice.
• Prop. 65: Local Government Funds, Revenues – No; the proposition's sponsors withdrew their support in favor of 1A.
• Prop. 66: Limitations on “Three Strikes” Law. Sex Crimes. Punishment – Yes; applying Three Strikes after non-violent crimes has been an expensive disaster.
• Prop. 67: Emergency Medical Services. Funding. Telephone Surcharge – No; since the money goes to massive private hospital chains with questionable practices.
• Prop. 68: Non-Tribal Commercial Gambling Expansion. Tribal Gaming Compact Amendments. Revenues, Tax Exemptions – No; since it would lead to slot machines everywhere.
• Prop. 69: DNA Samples. Collection. Database. Funding – No; privacy concerns, especially for people who aren’t convicted, outweigh the law-enforcements benefits.
• Prop. 70: Tribal Gaming Compacts. Exclusive Gaming Rights. Contributions to State – No; I just don’t care.
• Prop. 71: Stem Cell Research. Funding. Bonds – No; though stem-cell research is very promising, the state can’t afford it.
• Prop. 72: Health Care Coverage Requirements – Yes; everyone with a job should receive health care.

Except for Prop. 67, I independently came to same conclusions as the Bay Guardian after reading the voter information handbook.
