I can't vote for technical reasons
(the poll never shows up on my screen with the option to vote) but my personal priorities would be: release all nonviolent drug offenders and shut all for-profit charter schools. Anyone have any idea how much those two things would cost us? I would also like to rescind the Taft tax cuts which gave me only around $100 extra a year. That's not enough of a benefit to gut everything that makes a state livable.
