There's a good program on NPR right now, if anybody in California is interested in hearing some question-and-answer sessions between voters and legislators/union leaders/Arnold. We could discuss this if anyone wants to, but it is a bit of a local issue.

Is that the open meeting in Walnut Creek?
 
Wow if my house still had a radio somewhere...

Yes, it is.
 
I think discussing the propositions is a great idea.

I'd like it even better if we could devote a different thread to each proposition.

Would that be OK (Forum admin?)? or is it too presumptuous? Most of threads would fall off pretty quick anyway... but at this point I don't personally know which those would be.
