Someone asked that we talk about the Charter Revision ballot measures.Queens Civic Congress advises you to vote yes on question 1 and no on question 2.
But others disagree.
Here's some info on the ballot measure that deals with transparency in campaign finance reporting.
And here's another about the ballot measure meant to bring about environmental justice.
These are on the reverse side of the form, so make sure you fill out both sides before you feed it into the machine. Here are all the questions.

Thank you for finally posting something useful. Keep up this trend.
Unfortunately, Term Limits will not apply to State and Federal elected officials. THEY are the ones that need to be booted out of office.
Term limits will not apply to the jerks already in office.
Now do you know how to vote.
How many times do we have to vote for term limits before it takes affect? I've already done this twice.
There should be term limits for ALL politicians. The longer they are in power, the more corrupt they get. If they are limited, it will keep them honest.
Vote no on Number 2. Anytime they lump that many things in, something bad is buried in the fine print that ain't on the ballot.
Very helpful as usual crappy, thank you. Its unbelievable how these proposals are stuffed with unsavory clauses.
I opened the Gazette today and saw ANOTHER smiling photo of Senator Onorato asking everyone to vote for him.
Again.
Didn't this guy get into office in 1975 or thereabouts?
How many times must this guy run in Queens and get re-elected again?
Why doesn't term limits apply to the Senate as well? Why should these wastes have a job for life? I don't! Neither does anyone else reading this!
I am voting YES for term limits. It's better to send the only message we are given this year. If not, we will NEVER get rid of these crooks. It's better to get rid of some of them than none of them.
You saw an ad for Senator Onorato? He's retiring.
my advice on ambiguous and cluttered proposals is to vote NO.....
Onotato's is indeed retiring from office. He's just addicted to seeing himself in the Gazette.
You say potahto. I say potayto. You say Onorato. I say Onotato. Me bad.
"I opened the Gazette today and saw ANOTHER smiling photo of Senator Onorato asking everyone to vote for him."
He's spending leftover campaign money.
yes vote NO on government reform which is what Bloomberg devised. Basically it is reducing transparency and the number of foil request made available to the public. vote no on proposal 2.

In all my years of voting in NYC - I don't remember EVER having many often conflicting issues lumped together under one yes or no vote and its a f*cking outrage.
In looking over the ballot, I would have voted yes on some things on questions one and two and no on others.
I especially liked how in question one it was both suggested that term limits be imposed and that these rules NOT apply to Emperor Bloomberg (i.e, the new rule is not 'backwards' applicable).
It makes me feel bad I did not know about and attend the reputed public hearings about this whole thing - it really is just horrendous.
