Super-duper Tuesday: What's at stake

Californians Feb. 5 will take up seven ballot measures, four of them dealing with gambling pacts.

The measures would:

• Prevent the state from using gasoline tax revenue for non-transportation projects. Even proponents of the measure say it is no longer needed since voters passed a similar initiative in 2006.
• Increase state funding for community colleges while lowering students’ fees.
• Reduce to 12 years from 14 years the time one can serve in the state Legislature;
• Repeal deals Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R)
•  negotiated with four American Indian tribes that would pay the state more than $130 million each year. Each pact is addressed in a separate measure.
• Read Florida launches 2008 ballot question season for more information on this season's state ballot initiatives.

New voter ID requirements may cause glitches at the polls in Georgia while the limited use of electronic voting machines may cause confusion and delay results in California.
