Just posted it because a friend put it on FB. One question on these things, esp where I vote, is always who is funding this measure?

Always remember that tax breaks, exemptions, are never neutral. If an entity needs X dollars per year to run, when someone's burden is lowered you end up with an increased burden elsewhere or debt, which is an increased burden for another time.
