Election Day

Today I voted. I would have voted a straight ticket, but there were a couple dems I put in. One was Joel Ferguson to the MSU Board of Trustees. Aside from Cavanaugh, I decided to reelect the sitting judges. Two of the positions weren’t even contested!

I voted “no” on the two state proposals and on the one local proposal. Prop 1 wanted to bring up a state-wide vote whenever new gambling was proposed. I believe that gambling issues are appropriately vested in the legislature and I think it should stay that way. Prop 2 would have Michigan recognize only heterosexual marriage. I accept the opposition’s assertion that this proposal is overly broad and potentially sweeping in scope. The local prop would like to up taxes a little to subsidize elderly transportation. I voted “no,” because I don’t own land and have an aversion to raising taxes.

Interested to know how I to know I voted? Well, if you are interested:
