Proposition 1 (equal rights ordinance) Against - 81941 - 62.51 early voting For - 48934 - 37.49 early voting
Well I think that seals it. I guess the ordinance is going to fail pretty badly. That's rather unfortunate.
If they strip the part about trannies then it'll have no opposition whatsoever....but of course that's the only reason they wanted it passed in the first place so I don't expect that to happen.

No on VAT because it's regressive. May be interested in the other things. And no way do I want to let property owners off the hook on real estate taxes, which is the only thing that puts pressure on voters to fix our funding mechanisms. I'd try to patch the education system with supplementary funds and insist on a statewide solution.
