The strongest case for each side
For every race and every measure, the best honest argument each way. Equal space, no endorsement.
The measures that fight each other
One pair would raise income taxes on high earners while the other caps the rate. If both pass, the official Blue Book says the outcome is unclear, and a court or the Legislature would have to settle it. We explain what happens either way.
Judicial retention, explained
A Supreme Court justice and six Court of Appeals judges, what the state's performance commission found, and what a no vote actually does.
Sourced, not spun
Every factual claim is tied to reporting and official records, listed at the back.
