Special CA Election May 19

Tomorrow I'll be working at the polls again for the California Special Election. Since Lorenzo had wanted to talk with me about it, and we hadn't gotten a chance yet, I figured I'd just make a post here. So this is my limited understanding of what's going on. Our state legislators were fighting for quite some time about the budget. Despite having a decent majority in the state congress, Democrats were unable to get a decent budget passed because of the 2/3's super majority required to pass a new budget. So essentially the Republican minority were able to water down and shit all over the budget until it became a budget that no one really liked on any side. That budget partially passed, but it was necessary that parts of it needed to be approved by an election, because some of the sources of funding are coming from things that CA residents have voted on for other causes. So if these propositions are rejected, state legislators have to go back and rework the budget into something hopefully less crappy and more helpful. Here's Courage Campaign's progressive voter guide:

Fuck Fuck Fuck

Well Ive officially been notified that I will receive no financial aid this year. The fucking bastards have the nerve to send it an email with a subject that reads "Congratulations your awards have been approved!" its just a uniform subject title, when you read the email it sends you to the link, the link informs me that I qualify for loans...apparently thats my great award from the state, theyl loan me money with interest. fucking assholes
