  9. No on Prop. 29

    What's to like about taxes? Most people view them at best as a necessary evil to help pay for robust government services &mdash; a public benefit. But cigarette taxes are an anomaly. In their case, the tax itself is a public benefit. <a href=&quot;http://1.usa.gov/Hz2wVS">Proposition 29,</a> which would place a $1 levy on each pack of cigarettes sold in California, would serve the common good by making cigarettes more expensive.

  17. Proposition 29 and the contributions of political campaigns

    No matter how you feel about Meg Whitman, head of Hewlett-Packard, former head of eBay, you'd have to concede that one of her biggest contributions to the California economy was as candidate for California governor.
