Proposition 1B (Transportation): NO

• Proposition 1B Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security
  Should the state sell $19.9 billion in general obligation bonds to fund state and local transportation improvement projects to relieve congestion, improve movement of goods, improve air quality, and enhance safety and security of the transportation system?

I like the concepts in general, but $19.9 billion - whoo, that's quite a price tag given our state's current financial situation. Not only that, but it's got the dangerous "and we'll do it all without raising taxes!" argument due to being funded by a bond. It never ends up true, particularly with a bond of that magnitude, and we need to get our debt back in line.

Proposition 1A (Fuel tax specific usage): YES

• Proposition 1A Transportation Funding Protection
  Should the California Constitution be amended to further protect the state sales tax revenues for transportation purposes from general-purpose use and require any funds borrowed to be repaid to the transportation fund?

Gas taxes should be spent on transportation improvements. Yes, we also have education, health care, and disaster relief priorities, but they should pull from funds specifically geared to that purpose. If needs are not being met there, get actionable items on the ballots going forward - but don't try to pull from areas that voters intended for a specific use. If we want a specific amount of funds set aside specifically for discretionary spending, get it on the ballot.
