Each election, California's favorite conservative makes recommendations on the spate of state ballot propositions. Tom McClintock's recommendations are as follows:

 Prop30: NO. McClintock says higher taxes will hit "many small businesses filing under sub-chapter S, meaning lower wages, higher prices and fewer jobs."

Prop 31: NO.  "The purpose of government is to provide basic services, not to pursue utopian four-year plans."

Prop 32: YES.  "It's about time."

Prop 33: YES. "No-brainer."

Prop 34: NO. "This abolishes the death penalty for first-degree murder. Enough said."

Prop 35: YES. "On balance, though, the good outweighs the bad."

Prop 36: NO. "When it ain't broke, don't try and fix it."

Prop 37: NO. "This is the latest effort of the Nanny Left to tell us what to eat."

Prop 38: NO. "No doubt these dollars will be as well spent as the staggering fortune that we're already shoveling into the sclerotic school system."

Prop 39: NO. "Prop 39 might be bad news for California's employees, consumers, and investors, but it's great news for the Nevada Chamber of Commerce."

Prop 40: YES. "This is a monument to the stupidity of some Republican Party leaders..."

Here is his complete commentary.
