On this edition of Your Call, we discuss a few of the 10 propositions on California's ballot.
They would allow the state to borrow money for schools and fight global warming, lower voter approval requirements for local housing and infrastructure, limit forced labor in state prisons, and reaffirm the right of same-sex couples to marry.
The election is less than four weeks away. The first batch of ballots were mailed out to California voters on Monday, and ballot drop-off locations began opening on Tuesday. The last day to register to vote is Monday, October 21.
