Amendment 1 yes
I always support tax cuts, I'll support them in any form every dollar not sent to taxes is better used in the private sector
Amendment 2 yes
Anything that limits or makes it harder to increase future taxs I support.
Amendment 3 no
This seems like an amendment that makes it harder for some businesses to ooperate and others easier to stay in business with less competition. I'm not a gambler but I don't see the need for one type of gambling to be favored over another. I also don't like how the advertisements you see are missleading it's pitched as a power to the people amendment when it's really a restriction on new gambling amendment.
Amendment 4 yes
I believe in 2nd chances, a felon has served their time and paid their debt I support allowing them to reintigrate with society and being able to voice their opinion through voting. Even if I don't think the vast majority of them will vote the same as me.
Amendment 5 yes
I absolutely support an amendment that requires 2/3rds vote not just a simple majority to raise taxes.
Amendment 6 no for now?
I don't fully understand this one so for now I default to no. I want to know what is victims rights? Why do they want to raise the judges retirement age? And what do they mean by administrative interpretation? Rule of thumb if you try and saueez multiple issues into one law your trying to pull a fast one somewhere so I default to no.
Amendment 7 no
I do not support expanding state payments for death benefits. I also do not see the need to classify state schools differently? What's the reason behind that sounds like a way to get more state funding to community colleges?
Amendment 9 no
Forget the drilling offshore on state water that's a not issue. Deep water is federal land no one is drilling on state land anyways. I think the real reason for this amendment is the restriction of ecigs indoors. That's a private business choice to me so I say no let the free market decide.
Amendment 10 no
Counties should be free to point or elect officials as they see fit. That's a local issue I don't need the state dictating one size fits all government on the local counties. I also don't support creating another state law enforcement agency it's redundant.
Amendment 11 no
Why would i support allowing non-citzens to own land in Florida?
Amendment 12 yes
I support more restrictions on public officials prohibiting them from using their influence and power for private gain. Seems like a no brainier to me
Amendment 13 no?
I see the demonization of dog racing I don't know if that's real or not? I defualt to no since the only argument I've seen is it's mean and only people that hate dogs support it. Give me a real argument why I should support banning an entire industry or I just vote no.
Great Analysis. I don't understand your NO response to #11. In the global society that we live in where people like Donald Trump purchases land in other countries, why would we restrict global tycoons from purchasing penthouses in Miami or restrict people like Greg Norman from building a golf course in Jupiter Florida.
IMO, opening up the investment population increases the value of our homes, etc.
Didn't think about it like that. You have a point it's a global economy and non-citzens buy and develop land all over the world. I should look closer at this one my first impression might be wrong.
