I agree with Brisket on most of his takes, and I believe Chainsaw has my same dance card.
Prop 13 is a Yes for me because someone higher up the food chain told me we had a few really good Dem judges who were about to be retired, and this would allow they keep their benches a few more years. I also had one of them tell me it's no fun going before a judge who is sundowning. So I guess it's a shrug, but I'd be a definite YES if they had added in some types of mental fitness standards.
On Prop 6, one of the things the Tribune posted was something about the treatment of fracking water. That gave me pause, thinking maybe it would be a way for O&G to get taxpayers to pay for some environmental obligation of theirs. But the overall promise of the venture outweighs the negative, especially since it seems to have pretty good oversight built in.
One of the provisions of Prop 5 is that the to be eligible for this funding not only does the school have to be a state university, but also have a research budget of at least 20M/yr. and graduate at least 45 Phd's for three years running. So at least it sets a standard. I was afraid we'd be sending Baylor a wad of cash to research for proof of creationism over evolution.
On Prop 4, the temporary part bothers me. Reminds me of the Trump Tax Plan. Delicious looking icing on a turd. Once the rainy-day fund begins to dwindle, where will the ISDs turn for the shortfall in funding due to their tax base being reduced a couple of years earlier?
I'll be interested to see if the Lake Limestone screwup isn't early in the priorities for Prop 14 plans.
