I could get behind “would you favor” #3, 9, 10, 11, and 13.
I don’t want #12 because I’d rather see the seat belt rule disappear altogether. It’s all or nothing for me, preferably nothing.
Not on the list but something I desperately want to see to help re-balance high school offenses: extending the arc to 20’9”.
