I think the worst thing about the CA initiative system are the bond measures. Anything that is costly and can get votes gets dumped onto the ballot, and if passed locks down that part of the state budget for years on end.

The bond stuff is a pain in the ass (and I tend to always vote against them). But here’s what’s on the ballot so far:

Link 2

In November we’ve got: gun control; repeal of the death penalty; increasing the minimum wage (to $15 by 2021); requiring condoms in adult films (no, really); overturning a ban on single use plastic bags; a couple of bond measures; and a couple of measures that have something to do with hospitals and prescription drugs.

And there’s another 8 measures that are in the process of having signatures verified. Among them is weed legalization.

It almost makes me wonder why we bother having a full time Legislature (or one at all).
