Here's what proposed ballot measures would do Pot supporters seek legal medical marijuana
SIR Walter Scott wasn't writing about politics when he sagely observed two centuries ago, "Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive. But he could have been - and his poetry perfectly describes the ironic consequences of two deceptive California ballot measures drafted by Democratic politicians and their allies.
In September, county planners unveiled a scaled-back version of Rancho San Juan on their Web site. Because of this smaller proposed project, some county officials will tell you that Measure C is moot. Don't listen to them. Rancho San Juan is bad for Monterey County, and a resounding "no" vote on Measure C will send a strong message to the Supes when they review the new Rancho San Juan plan: The public doesn't want it. Don't approve an unpopular, bad project twice. There's also the accountability issue. Right now, if there's a leak on, say, Carmel Valley Road, you've got to call Illinois to report the leak.

Colorado voters could stage the state's biggest-ever taxpayer revolt by approving three measures in the November election that could save most families more than $2,000 a year but that opponents say would cripple the state. Supporters of Amendments 60 and 61 and Proposition 101 say the three would force government to downsize and spur economic growth by leaving taxpayers with more disposable income. Opponents say the three would cut a wide swath of devastation across Colorado, imperiling the quality of everything the government does, from fighting crime to teaching children.
If you can't beat 'em, confuse 'em. That's the thinking, some political observers say, behind Proposition 27, one of the measures that will appear on November's ballot. Proposition 27 and another measure on the ballot have near- opposite effects, which could doom both measures.
