Navigating the Unemployment Office

Would someone please QC Sec. Galvin's website?

Seriously - if the devil's in the details on some of these questions (in terms of practical implementations, presuming you're not already fundamentally decided) - could someone please ensure that online information about the ballot is a little more complete and correct?

The individual ballot question pages on the Sec. State website are fine, but: where's the link to the detailed legislation? People might want to know the details.
On the other hand, clicking the Back to: Proposed Ballot Questions link from any of these pages results in a 404 error. Oops. I hope they count ballots better than build websites. Normally, they're pretty good.

Tip: here's the actual overview of the 3 questions.
