I know there's a few people from Massachusetts here, so I was curious about how you were gonna vote on the referendum questions.
Question 1: Abolish the state income tax?
Question 2: Decriminalize an ounce or less of weed?
Question 3: Prohibit dog racing?
For me, Question 2 is easy...of course yes. I don't see any reason why someone's record should be tarnished over a little bit of weed. Weed is no worse than alcohol or tobacco.
Question 1..I dunno. I'm tempted to vote yes because it SOUNDS like you'd get more money in your check, but they'll just end up raising other taxes, probably. Also, I find the "but the fire dept and police, etc will suffer"...maybe, or maybe people like diane wilkerson and the bodybuilding firefighter need to use our tax dollars more wisely.
And Question 3..I say instead of banning dog racing, they just make laws that force the people who run it to treat the dogs more humanely.
