A "yes" on this ballot question would help keep campaign finance in line. Vote YES on Proposal A.
Proposal B: Currently, judges must be lawyers under 70 years of age to take office. Proposal B would add on a prerequisite five years experience. The state doesn't need judges fresh out of law school. Vote YES on Proposal B.
Proposal C: Ever heard of robbing Peter to pay Paul? Proposal C would prevent the state from raiding the Veteran's Trust Fund to cover general funds. The proposal would establish the fund as its own, and ensure that the trust monies go to veterans and their families. Vote YES on Proposal C.
Proposal D: This proposal would add restrictions to bear hunting - but the restrictions would be imposed from outside of the Department of Natural Resources, which handles all other hunting regulations. Political commercials framed the issue as humans versus bears - but it's really about who has control over hunting regulations. Vote NO on proposal D.
Proposal G: More bears, so bear with ... The proposal regards the management of wildlife populations in Michigan - basically, it delegates the responsibility to the Natural Resource Commission, a part of the DNR. Good plan. Vote YES on proposal G.
Proposal E: This proposal would change current regulations to allow gambling in "qualifying" cities - and the only city that would qualify is Detroit. However, Detroit should look for other sources of revenue.
Vote NO on proposal E.
The city proposal would continue a millage for road construction that ended in 1996. Driving in Ann Arbor is difficult enough. Vote YES on the city proposal.
