There's also the little matter of the fact that it's literally impossible to discern if passing any of these measures will accomplish what they say...or are intended to accomplish what they say...or accomplish what they say while screwing over something else they do or don't intend to.

Which side do you believe on 1D? The side that says that it's taking only from surplus funds that aren't being spent anyway, or the side that says that it will affect the operating costs of the programs that it's supposedly not taking away from? There is absolutely nowhere that says definitively which one is telling the truth...probably because they're both just guessing/basing their claim on the most extreme high and low estimates for projected budgets and revenues and we won't know until we know exactly how much tax money the state takes in over the course of that the bill is in effect.

What about 1C? Is balancing the budget important enough to give the state license to become and even bigger gambling house?

Not one of these measure solves a problem. They just temporarily shift money around while still leaving the amount of money needed unchanged.
