    Default Ahhh, the 2013 Blue Book is here

    Lets see, short one for statewide this year.

    Amendment 66, Hell No.
    That is a tremendous increase and a bit too much for me to buy a "for the children" line. Doubly so since the SVVSD just got their mil levy last year.
    Proposition AA, leaning No.
    This again is a huge tax with schools getting the short end of the stick. This was sold to voters as "tax it for the schools" but 15% of the wholesale cost goes to schools and 15% of the retail cost to the general fund. I hope people notice the difference between wholesale & retail prices. The retail % is marked 10% but will increase to 15% since it is allowed to without another vote. The total tax effect on retail would be >30% depending on wholesale vs retail. Don't forget local sales tax on top of that.
    This is one of those deals where it doesn't affect me but just smells fishy.
    Edit: Even better, only 40mil max goes to schools. Don't think so, this isn't what the voters asked forr when pot was legalized. Try again next session.
