So, my take on initiatives on this ballot: Vote "no" on all of them.

For the most part, our state and community are best served by voting in the opposite direction from that advocated by the democratian, so any agreement on my part with any position they take is purely coincidental.

The Initiative 732 would impose a carbon emission tax on certain fossil fuels and fossil-fuel-generated electricity.

No.

The Initiative 735 would urge a federal constitutional amendment that limits constitutional rights to people, not corporations.

No.

The Initiative 1433 would increase the state minimum wage to $13.50 by 2020.

No.

The Initiative 1464 would create a campaign-finance system allowing residents to direct state funds to qualifying candidates, repeal the non-resident sales-tax exemption, restrict employment of former public employees and lobbying, and revise campaign-finance laws.

No.

The Initiative 1491 would authorize courts to issue extreme risk protection orders to remove an individual from access to firearms.

No.

The Initiative 1501 would increase criminal identity-theft penalties and expand civil liability for consumer fraud targeting seniors and vulnerable individuals. It would exempt certain information regarding vulnerable individuals and in-home caregivers from public disclosure.

No.

A legislatively referred constitutional amendment is also on the ballot. SJR 8210 was designed to move the deadline for the completion of redistricting for state legislative and congressional districts from January 1 of each year ending in a two, to November 15 of each year ending in a one.

No.

There.  Wasn't that simple?
