I voted yes on 1/2 and no on 3. I consider myself quite moderate politically. I believe that efforts do need to be made to protect the environment here. I lived in south Florida for 8 years and saw how rapidly the Miami-Dade metro area was expanding into previously protected areas. Ignoring the invasive snake population, we need to save that stuff.

 

Amendment 2 is obviously the hot button issue. I agree that the issue is more likely to be solved with legislation. Pass or fail, it won't even go into effect until next year, and it really won't effect most people. But I believe that it is a first step towards legalization in Florida. (It failed, so this is moot.) Regardless, I think that if enough people petition their local representatives, we can probably get something going. I feel like legalization and taxation is one of the best ways to cut government expenditures. I feel like decriminalization is what REALLY needs to be done, but it's a pipe dream for at least the next decade. 

 

Amendment 3... We don't need governors to have more power over things. Let's be real...
