Question H

Important Information for Prince George's County voters for the upcoming election, November 2, 2004.

This election's ballot will have several important and confusing questions for residents of Prince George's County.

Prince Georgians who Care has a web page with the text of the Questions up for referendum, including the charter ammendments. It's a good place to start and has some useful information.

As always, some of the best, most thought-out analysis and explanation has been done by the league of Women's voters. Use this link to see their information.

To find out the real deal, the actual text and true details of the ammendments are available here on the Gazette's web site. It is in PDF (Portable Document Format).
If you're having trouble getting it to appear on your screen, see if you have Adobe's Acrobat Reader installed. If you don't, you need to get it (free from Adobe's web site). If you do, you may need to download the PDF, then start up Acrobat Reader to read it. You can also do a search in Google, which will allow you to view a the document as converted by them.
Unfortunately, the PDF is formatted for tabloid (11 x 17) paper, and you may have trouble printing it. By shifting the images onto letter size paper, I have successfully made a 6-page set (about 9 point font) and a 9-page set (about 12 point font) that should print out correctly. However, they are in Postcript format, which geocities doesn't recognize as a legitimate format. I've posted them here with the filename extension '.pdf' but you cannot view them directly in Acrobat Reader. If you have a "postscript printer" you may be able to print the files directly. On Linux or Unix, use the 'gv' or 'lp/lpr' command. I will also try converting them to PDF, but I'm not sure what the result would be.
The 6-page set - postscript (each 11x17 page fits on 2 letter size pages):

The 9-page set - postscript (each 11x17 page fits on 3 letter size pages): The 6-page set - PDF (each 11x17 page fits on 2 letter size pages): The 9-page set - PDF (each 11x17 page fits on 3 letter size pages): I would appreciate feedback from people indicating which, if any of the above options, works best. Please leave a message on my Message Page. (Just ignore the stuff about my family history and type in your message - I can easily sort it out.)

Opinions

Believe it or not, there are a few web sites giving their opinions on the issues. They're not the easiest to find, so I've collected them together here.
