Official Mattsapundit Voting Guide

Okay folks, I know you've been waiting for me to issue marching orders voting recommendations on the proposed amendments to the Texas Constitution. Here they are:

• Proposition 1: Against. We don't need another government agency with the power to borrow money and give it to private companies.
• Proposition 2: For. Texas must not become a laboratory for gay-rights activists eager to change social mores for the nation.
• Proposition 3: Against. We must rein in "economic development grants" which can become little more than unpoliced giveaways to the politically connected.
• Proposition 4: For. If you violate bail once, you shouldn't get it again.
• Proposition 5: For. Commercial borrowers are big boys; they don't need the Legislature to protect them from themselves.
• Proposition 6: For. Increased public oversight of the judiciary is just fine with me.
• Proposition 7: For. If Grandma wants to borrow money, why should the state get in her way?
• Proposition 8: Abstain. I don't even know, off the top of my head, where in the hell Smith or Upshur Counties are.
• Proposition 9: Against. Longer terms for mobility board members would only make them even less accountable to the public than they currently are.
