My Commentary:

Prop. 2 Same sex marriage denied legal status
Prop. 3 Economic development programs do not constitute debt
Prop. 5 Commercial loan interest rates defined by Legislature

Props 2, 3, & 5 were most important to me.  I voted Y, N, N; respectively.

I really have no excuse not to vote, as the polling place is about 50 yards from my front drive.
