Proposition 6: Law Enforcement Funding
http://www.taxabletalk.com/posts/1224706751.shtml


   [1]Proposition 6 requires specific funding for police and law
   enforcement, and adds several new crimes (mainly gang-related) to the
   penal code. It also changes sentencing, generally tightening
   (lengthening) sentences, especially for gang-related offenses. It is
   also estimated to cost at least $500 million annually, and potentially
   could have a one-time cost of $1 billion.
   Proponents argue that it fights gangs, and helps crime victims.
   Opponents argue that it spends money needlessly.
   No matter how you feel make sure you vote on November 4th.
