Just Say No to the Nanny State.  It's all poison pills, this one.

It's already a State constitutional amendment not to allow smoking in restaurants.   *****rollingeyes*****

No.  Doesn't belong at the constitution level.

I don't think the vaping thing should be applied by the state at all.  There are two completely unrelated issues here.  I notice several of the Amendments @RoosGirl posted contain unrelated issues.  This is the sort of crap that makes me vote "No" on all props, regardless of their value.

Yep!  The other thing I don't like is that the sample ballot does not give any information on further research of any of the amendments.... like actual wording of the amendments and not what some idiot at the supervisor of elections office wrote up for me.

We get a thick manual containing the props, with details and pro & con arguments.  I like that.  Dittos for candidates.  I'd like to see more details about the Judge Retention votes.  I usually don't vote on that, unless I have someone to vote against because he/she is a bleep.

I agree on both counts.  However, if there is going to be a statewide ban on vaping (or smoking),  it doesn't belong in the constitution.

Same thing with pot.  I voted against legalization amendments at least twice.  Not because I really care that much about pot one way or the other, I just don't think the word marijuana belongs in our constitution.
