Changing Position on Prop 67

I didn't catch it until I was trying to update the LP of Humboldt County web page, but there's another ballot measure I'll be voting contrary to LP California's recommendations. 

Prop 67, dealing with plastic shopping bags, is actually a referendum. That means you'll be approving or rejecting a past action of the state legislature. In this case they banned the use of plastic shopping bags. Let's see if I get this right: A Yes vote says the legislative action remains in force. A No vote repeals the legislature's action, at least I think that's right. I get confused with referendums. 

Regardless, I'll keep an eye on this one and vote to repeal the action by the legislature, whether that means a Yes or No vote.

Addendum: From a California Catholic Conference web site:

 "Proposition 67 is a referendum that asks voters if they wish to uphold or overturn the law passed by the Legislature that outlaws plastic bags.  A "yes" vote on Proposition 67 means the statewide ban on plastic bags will go into effect.  A "no" vote on Proposition 67 means the statewide ban on plastic bags will not become law." 

I guess that means a No vote is in order.

Past action by legislature on plastic bags must be silent cuz plastic bags are still used at Kmart, Safeway, etc......big box.

I'm not sure, but I believe when the referendum qualified for the ballot, the legislative action was put on hold pending outcome of the election.

That is correct. When the referendum qualified for the ballot, the law signed by Jerry Brown in late 2014 was suspended. (During his debate with Neil Kaskari both candidates were asked if they supported the bill, and Jerry Brown indicated that he would sign it into law.)

So what your implying is moonbeam brown took an action (signing into law) something regarding plastic bags being illegal,there wss some sort of dispute and that the legislature created the referendum (prop 67) to see if the people (voters) disagree in majority with Moonbeam, the fraud?

The Johnson/Weld campaign has lost support from HOJ.

Johnson is cowtowing, pandering and kissing two party asses.

The latest was an endorsement for Romney to be in Johnson's administration.

Darrel Castle next up!

I'm not into banning jobs & useful commodities, so I will vote against this ban too.
