Well, honestly the Michigan ballot measures are the only reason I plan on voting. We have six that are on the ballot for sure:
1) Proposal 1 is veto referendum for the implementation of the expanded powers of EMs (emergency financial managers) passed back in march. This will most likely fail, the EM legislation that passed last spring is WILDLY unpopular up here. Most people see it as a subversion of democracy, and I tend to agree with these people. The only reason it's even on the ballot is because so many members of the public oppose it so much.
2) Proposal 2 would amend the state constitution to ensure the right to collective bargaining via labor unions by reclassifying it as a constitutional right. This one is hard to call, I know it has a lot of support by members of unions (obviously) and a fair amount of support by non-union workers....but there has been one hell of a campaign to get people to shoot this proposal down, how much effect that will have on popular opinion remains to be seen.
3) Proposal 3 would require that 25% of the states energy come from renewable resources by 2025. Pretty straightforward, it will probably pass easily.
4) Proposal 4 would amend the state constitution to establish the Michigan Quality Home Care Council and allow for collective bargaining rights for in-home care givers, and protect the rights of patients to hire in-home care givers of their choice. This one I have almost no idea on, I know it has a slight lead in the polls, but that may not end up meaning much of anything, personally don't know enough about it to post an opinion at this time.
5) Proposal 5 would amend the state constitution to mandate that state tax increases be passed by super majority vote (2/3s majority) in the legislation, or by state wide ballot. I can almost guarantee that this will pass. Personally, I'm split, but leaning away from this proposal.
6) Proposal 6 would amend the state constitution to require that any new bridge or tunnel to Canada be approved by voters first. This I can almost guarantee will pass, because there is a proposed bridge to Canada at the moment which is wildly unpopular due to the cost, and while I will agree that the proposed bridge is too expensive, I don't support amending the state constitution over just one bridge. Still, I think I require more info on the subject before making a final decision.
