You may be confused on how to vote on Proposition 90 as we near the November Ballot deadline. Please be sure to read it thoroughly, including the fine print. Fine print, by its very nature, has become a deterrent to most of us, since by the time we reach it, our attention span has been depleted.
As a homeowner in one of the many mobile home parks in Lake County, I strongly suggest you read the pros and cons with great care. Just as in most propositions put before the voters by the “politicians,” there are usually the hidden phrases and agendas to deceive the voter. These propositions are written by experts who are practiced and educated in the art of the English language, and they know that most of us are taken in by words that seem to say what we would like them to say.
Do not be deceived. This Proposition 90 is baited with references to eminent domain and the protection of the homeowner (which is what they would like you to think). Actually, hidden in the fine print (if one takes the time to read it … and most of us are too confused by the time we reach it) it does not refer to eminent domain and would have a huge impact on the California taxpayer.
It would enable real estate investors and large corporations (many of whom are out of state) to drain the state by claiming that the law harmed the value of their investment and the California taxpayer would be the scapegoat.
Proposition 90 is written to “trap” the California taxpayer big time … vote no, no, no!
