His presentation is entitled: Ballot Measure Armageddon: Taxes, Marijuana, and the 2016 Statewide Ballot.
The 2016 ballot will have the most initiatives in over a decade, with at least 20 measures likely to qualify.

County voters will also vote on a new sales tax to fund transportation projects throughout the County.
