Details are important. But usually I find there is always a constituency that opposes things and claims doom if anything changes: In Mass especially because of cynical attitude and proximity to more free wheeling neigbor states (RI and NH are like the wild west of the Northeast). We're a small state but we have enough people that businesses want to be here. California is big enough that business will change to do business there. For cars, "california emissions" was on all the cars they sold here because car companies don't want the hassle of two kinds of vehicles.

Also the legislators here will likely change things if they're dragging down the state (We hope...)

we get a summary of ballot questions:

here is the Con argument for the right to repair: "This measure could lead to the release of sensitive personal information, make vehicle hacking easier, and threaten safety and fuel efficiency innovation. Increased safety threats – including theft – are why law enforcement opposes the measure." [1] http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele/ele12/ballot_questions_12/que...

We've had this law for a while and none of it seems to be a problem.

Some other things I remember strong opposition to that now seem like non-issues: 1) Bottle deposits (Grocery stores won't exist!) 2) No smoking in restaurants and bars (They'll all go to NH or RI) 3) Cambridge bring your own bag ordinance (nobody will buy anything here again).
