Ballot measures:

Initiatives

591 Yes. Keeps reasonable background checks. Criminals are prohibited from owning guns and it is illegal to sell to them. Enforcement of the current laws is the issue.

594 No. Gun show purchases are already subject to background checks as only members can buy and to become a member you need a background check. Not necessary and easy to abuse. Increased state spending $175-200 thousand, local ?

1351 No the measure does not provide funding, requires an increase of $4.7 billion, and doesn’t require the school districts to actually use the extra funds on smaller class size.

Advisory votes

6505 Maintain. Some voted against it perhaps because they are against marijuana being legal. I agree, but since it is let it pay for some of the problems it causes.

1287 Repealed This raises taxes and makes the tribes keep book for a rather small increase in state revenue.
