Election results
The bad local news: We have a male City Councilmember named Laurie. How humiliating. Who wants to place bets on the number of times someone gets his gender wrong?
In good news, the utility tax, measure J, did not pass. But the measures that taxed those evil, horrible property owners fared not bad.
Statewide propositions: Californians as a whole, however, voted to SPEND SPEND SPEND in this time of poor fiscal security. Hospital grants, mental health research, and stem cell research all got Yessed.
Prop 65, which had been completely dropped, still managed to get 37.5% of the vote.
Prop 60 won handily in all counties. Prop 62 did not win statewide, preventing us from laughing too hard, but six counties managed to vote yes for both. Well done!
The Daily Cal brings us "Voices of the Vote!" Says Third year MassComm/English major Angela Natividad:
"I voted for Bush because Kerry is too idealistic for my country."
Uhhhhhhhhhhh... okay, then.
In general, though... Bushz0r3d!!!
