While other states have ballot questions this election dealing with such juicy issues as abortion, drugs, same-sex marriage, eminent domain, stem cell research, etc., New Jersey presents us with three rather dull-sounding (and barely intelligible) ones that had unanimous legislative support. Anyone care to weigh in on how a good progressive should vote on them? Seems like some of us think Question #1 is too vague to have any meaningful effect on property tax reform and may in fact hinder it. Question #2 has broad support among environmentalists. Question #3 sounds logical enough but I'd hate to see the majority of funds spent on new roads and automobile transportation rather than public transit.

The League of Women Voters feels strongly that tax revenues should not be constitutionally mandated and discusses other pros and cons at: http://www.lwvnj.org.

Since the state budget is just a huge shell game anyway, does any of this really matter? Any light that wiser folk can shed on this will be greatly appreciated.
