Got Yer Golden State Voting Tips Right Here

Tim Cavanaugh | November 8, 2005

California readers, if you're voting in today's special election, here's initiative advice from the Libertarian Party of California:

Prop. 73 (Parental Notification): No position.
Prop. 74 (Teacher Tenure): Yes.
Prop. 75 (Paycheck Protection): Yes.
Prop. 76 (Live Within Our Means): Yes.
Prop. 77 (Redistricting): Yes.
Props. 78 and 79 (Prescription Drug Prices ): No.
Prop 80 (Energy re-regulation): No.

If I get a chance to vote today, I'll put up a post later listing my choices.

If we have any Mendocino or Calaveras residents, I'd be interested in thoughts on the LP officeholders the party brags about on its web page: D.A. Norm Vroman and supervisor Tom Tryon—who unfortunately is not the same Tom Tryon whose painfully and obviously closeted screen presence gave a great emotional charge to movies like I Married a Monster from Outer Space and Otto Preminger's underrated The Cardinal. Of the LP's real Golden State star—Orange County Superior Court Judge Jim Gray—I'm already a big fan.
