See also: Massachusetts 2016 ballot measures

Massachusetts Authorization of a Second Slots Location, Question 1 (2016)

  • I support the proposal. If voters would like to spend their hard earned money in this manner and taxes from this can go towards local budgets? I’m for it.

Massachusetts Question 2, Annual Charter School Expansion Initiative (2016)

  • I do not support lifting the cap on charter schools, the expansion affects or school districts in regard to funding. I've seen that positives of charter schools I have also seen the negatives. Some do not cater to all students and their various learning styles being very selective to whom they educate. “Difficult’ students are sometimes forced to return to the public school system as a result of the autonomy of charter schools and their selective process.

Massachusetts Minimum Size Requirements for Farm Animal Containment, Question 3 (2016)

  • Yes, I support this proposal to prohibit any further cruelty to animals.

Massachusetts Marijuana Legalization, Question 4 (2016)

  • Yes I support its legalization, with legalization comes monetization (tax revenue), and regulation (safety). We can protect our citizens who are already consuming and stop funding criminal enterprises. The only people who stand to gain from the continued criminalization of Marijuana are those who profit from its illegal sale. At least we can recycle the dollars back into our economy and increase funding to the things that matter most, like providing a better education for our children. We allow adults to consume alcohol and tobacco which have serious health implications and the research on this is conclusive. I believe we should treat Marijuana the same way we treat alcohol and tobacco (tax it).

Healthcare

  • Kim supports single payer health care that guarantees better access and lowers the cost of health care[1]
