2012 Florida Constitutional Amendments:  A long ballot that League of Women Voters says NO to.

    Early voting starts tomorrow in Miami-Dade County and the ballot is going to be LONG.  I am not in Tallahassee and cannot imagine what possessed the lawmakers there to put so many constitutional items on the ballot.  Absent extraordinary circumstance, it is not a good idea to change the Constitution or Charter in order to make laws. 
    I have received a lot of information about the Amendments and done my own research.  I found this short summary of the Florida Constitutional Amendments published by the League of Women Voters.  It has good reasoning and is a quick reference guide.  A downloadable version is attached for your convenience.  
    While some may say that the League of Women Voters is too liberal and should be looked at with skepticism, The Florida Today, a business publication, also recommends voting no on all Constitutional Amendments.
    The League of Cities is particularly interested in Amendment 4.  I have received a lot of information about the devastating effect Amendment 4 would have on cities.  From a very local perspective, there is no where that is more true than Miami Springs. 

    I don't trust campaign ads -- they are often filled with half truths.  But this video was sent by the League of Cities and expresses their concerns.   Good luck when voting and see you at the polls.

    Beautiful
    Miami Springs.

    Beautiful Miami Springs.  There is no place like it.  THANK YOU for re-electing me to our City Council in April 2011.  It is going to be difficult to share information with our residents during or after Council meetings.  As a result, I will post to my blog often: Council items, neighborhood happenings, local events.  Please subscribe, bookmark the site, and visit often.
