The League of Women Voters is another good resource for information on the ballot measures.  They give background as well as concise explanations that are more understandable than the text of the measures.  You get a good, reasonable summary of the main pro and con arguments and then can make up your own mind.  Relying on the arguments in the pamphlet that comes in the mail isn't a good way to make a decision; there's no fact checking so you can't trust what they say.
