League of Women Voters' Pros and Cons analysis of the November elections. Thomas House basement,741 Waverley, Palo Alto. Ballot propositions with coffee and doughnuts. This is a banner year for us voters! Take this chance to get your head around the 17 propositions on the California ballot on Sunday, October 2, when the League of Women Voters will present an overview at 10:00 a.m. in the Thomas House basement hall, immediately following the 8:45 Mass. Coffee and doughnuts will be served in the basement, so there's no excuse to miss this opportunity to educate yourself about the pros and cons of the propositions. Of particular note is the contest between Proposition 62 (abolish the death penalty) and Proposition 66 (speed up the delivery of the death penalty). A quick reference right up front: YES on 62, NO on 66. You'll learn the difference at the Oct. 2 meeting. (Full disclosure: the League of Women Voters of California has taken a position in support of Proposition 62.) But there are other propositions that require your attention, too. So come to the Thomas House basement hall on Sunday, Oct. 2 at 10:00 am, and settle in with coffee for an illuminating presentation and discussion.
