NYS Election Props 1, 2 & 3...

If you're unsure of what they are.......

"Proposition One on New York’s ballot, which asks voter whether there should be a Constitutional Convention, is getting a lot of attention, with TV ads and social media posts. But there are two other proposals for voters to consider.

Proposition Two would modify the state’s constitution to allow judges the discretion to strip the pensions from some elected officials convicted of felonies. It was prompted by a corruption crime wave that’s hit the state Capitol in recent years, and resulted in dozens of arrests, indictments, convictions and imprisonments.

Proposition Three. It creates a creates a land “bank” of 250 acres to ease construction and repairs along roadways that are currently hamstrung due to strict land use rules in the forest preserves. Small amounts of land could be withdrawn from the land bank and used for the road maintenance and repairs, or to add cable lines for internet access"
