Today is the time of year when you can tell Washington and your local government what you think. Here in California we have a couple big voter items one of which is a new governor, senator, and prop 19.
The race for senator at this time (8:46 pm) is still to close to call for the senate seat. For the governor seat Jerry Brown is the projected exit poll winner. Finally as for prop 19.... exit polls are saying no to 19.
Prop 19 is a really hot issue here. It is the prop to legalize marijuana use and distribution. By legalizing it the state of California will be able to tax and regulate. I believe the marijuana tax alone will put the economy of California back on track.
I had a hard time finding where to vote today. When I arrived home I immediately went to where I usually vote, which is a few blocks away. I rode over there only to find it empty of polls. I was totally bummed out. I went back home and told Heather I won't be able to vote. She reminded me that the elementary school is open to voters. So I headed up there and sure enough voting was going on there. :)
I got my vote on today, how 'bout you?
Blog you later,
