14. I voted for it.

Nov 2012

I don't believe it will do much of anything "for jobs and schools" but I didn't buy the reasons to vote against it, which seemed to boil down to "they're lying about it providing money for schools" and "it's bad for poor people."

The first reason didn't convince me because even though I don't think it will provide money for schools or jobs, I don't believe it will cost them either. The second reason reminds me of the temperance movement and I don't much like telling people what they can and can't do with their money.

So I was pretty much on the fence up until I voted, but I came down on the side of letting people do what they want.
