2022 Georgia Primary Ballot Advisory Questions: A Postscript

Uncategorized, , , , ,
  • Full list of questions
  • All statewide questions on both ballots received a large majority response, with only one question (Republican Question 5) receiving a “No” response.
  • I wrote Democratic Questions 4 and 8. I’m proud. I only wish a few more of my questions were added. Thanks to Scout Smith for lobbying the DPG for these questions and helping me narrow down my shortlist to 7.
  • I consider an advisory question to be controversial if majority response is 80% or less. Few questions on the ballot in the history of advisory questions in Georgia primaries have ever fallen under 80% majority response.
  • I’m getting ready for 2024.

Democratic Question 8

  • Coverage of Democratic Question 8: Marijuana Moment, Ganjapreneur, Cannabis Business Times
  • Democratic Question 8 (which I authored) had the most controversial reception on the Democratic ballot, despite all counties voting in favor.
  • Athens-Clarke’s Democrats had the most lopsided response to Democratic Question 8. Baker County had the worst response.
  • Clarke and Forsyth had extra marijuana legalization questions for some reason.
  • Democratic Question 8 is the most complete survey on support for marijuana legalization carried out so far. However, this only covers the Democratic side of the ballot.
    • In 2018, separate Republican questions for medical marijuana and decriminalized recreational access were asked in Harris, Pierce and Ware, with only medical questions being asked in Gordon, Walker and Whitfield. 
    • In 2020, Henry County Republicans asked a question on recreational legalization. This was the first to receive majority support from Republican voters, albeit much slimmer than on past Democratic ballots.
    • Past Democratic questions on legalization were offered in Cherokee (2014), Whitfield (2014), Glynn (2018), Forsyth (2018 and 2020), and Walton (2020), with a question on medical cannabis being asked in Richmond in 2014 and Catoosa in 2016.

Other Ballot Questions

  • Democratic Question 1, dealing with student loan debt forgiveness, was probably the second most controversial question on the Democratic ballot.
  • Democratic Question 4 shows support among the Democratic base for stronger direct democracy than what we currently have.
  • Republican Question 5, which was written exactly to elicit reactionary conservative disgust/hatred against transgender people, had the most lopsided response on the Republican ballot.
  • All of the other statewide Republican questions were garbage, and I would have wanted the opportunity to vote no on every single one of them on the same ballot as I voted yes to every single Democratic question. One can dream.
  • Many county-level questions dealt with local government and infrastructure questions.
  • Fulton and DeKalb’s Republican ballots both had anti-mask, anti-vaccine questions.
  • Carroll and Forsyth’s Democratic ballots had questions on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in education, while DeKalb’s Republican ballot had a question on CRT.
  • Jackson’s Democratic ballot had an anti-Confederate monument question.
  • Oconee County had the only jointly-shared questions on the primary ballot this cycle, with Republicans going out of their way to spell out in bold “This question was drafted by the Democrat party and is being included on this ballot at the request of the Oconee County Republican Party.” behind both joint questions on their ballot.
    • Rockdale held a joint question in 2012, as did Pickens in 2018.

2022 Ballot Measures to Sign and/or Support

2022 ballot measures I would canvass for if I could move out of Georgia:

About that Juneteenth ice cream

Uncategorized, , ,

In case y’all forgot, Juneteenth’s official federal name is “Juneteenth National Independence Day”, not “Juneteenth Memorial Day”.

The addition of “independence” as an act of celebration is inviting commercialization in a vulgar-capitalist country like this. The marking of “Independence” is not a time for any type of Memorial Day-style reflection.

In another universe, Juneteenth’s official name would be “Juneteenth Labor Memorial Day”, rightfully marking how chattel slavery was brutal, multigenerational abuse of human labor. We would be visiting slave cemeteries. We would be treating it as a day of mourning and labor activism. Who would capitalize on a day of mourning?

But instead we got Juneteenth with the parades and the “independence”. And now some are confused and frustrated that companies and establishments would capitalize on a new holiday with a Juneteenth-branded ice cream flavor, or that companies would afford time off to *everyone* for a federal holiday.

I don’t know why we’re supposed to be upset with a corny ice cream flavor from some big, dumb, anti-union corp. I don’t know what we expected. This is a package deal for an “independence day” in the United States.

Videos

In this video we are exploring the archaeological ruins in Tzintzuntzan, Michoacan, Mexico! The site is a located on a hill overlooking Lake Patzquaro located about 100 kilometers from Morelia, Mexico. This is a perfect place to explore the archaeological ruins from the Tarascan Empire of 1200-1521 CE. The name Tzintzuntzan comes from the Purepecha word for “place of the hummingbirds.” The site consists of five Ya’catas round like pyramid structures. At the end of the video we visit the on-site museum.

How Suburban Sprawl Weighs On The U.S. Economy

Videos

America’s suburbs are sprawling again. Over the 20th century, real estate developers built large tracts of single-family homes outside of major cities. The builders were following mortgage underwriting standards first introduced by the Federal Housing Administration in the 1930s. Over the century, those guidelines created housing market conditions that explicitly shut out many minorities. Experts say it is possible to update these old building codes to create equity while fixing some, but not all of the problems of American suburbia.

Last year, single family housing starts rose to 1.123 million, the highest since 2006, according to the National Association of Home Builders, however, options for prospective homebuyers remain lean.

Experts say the problems of America’s housing market relate to past policy decisions. In particular, they say restrictive zoning codes are limiting housing supply. These codes are based on 1930s-era Federal Housing Administration guidelines for mortgage underwriting. That includes “no sidewalks and curvy dead-end streets,” according to Ben Ross, author of “Dead End: Suburban Sprawl and the Rebirth of American Urbanism.“

Ross and others believe that more must be done to manage residential real estate development. Ross lives in Montgomery County, Maryland, which recently revised its zoning code to bring more population density to the area. The county didn’t have many alternative options — 85% of build-worthy land is already developed.

Strict zoning laws favoring single-family homes have limited the supply of land available for multifamily construction and hampered production of more affordable housing. With land limited for multifamily projects, the price of that land has jumped and made those projects unaffordable for builders.

Today’s homebuyers are paying for past sprawl by drawing on credit to finance their lifestyles. Meanwhile, the cost of public infrastructure maintenance is weighing on depopulating towns across the country.
