amendments

I came across this item on floridacapitalnews.com, concerning three of the ammendments we discussed earlier. I thought some of you might be interested.  "The Florida Supreme court will judge the legality of three proposed constitutional amendments early next month."

"The state is appealling Circuit Judge John Cooper's ruling that threw Amendment 5 off the Nov. 4 ballot because he said its title & summary language are misleading." 

"Amendment 5 would abolish the required local property tax levy for school support  & require the Legislature to come up with @ $11B in replacement revenue.  That would cut property taxes, on average, 25%."

I went to the meeting of Citizens for Term Limits and Accountability Committee at the Fleming Island Library Wednesday night, hoping to meet in person some of the bloggers who've been complaining that the political action committee doesn't hold open meetings.

The conspiracy theorists had contended that CTLAC should, despite no legal basis, hold its meetings in the open because the PAC is proposing amendments to the County Charter.  Open the discussion to the public, like the recent official government Charter Review Commission that is required by law to hold open meetings.  That way, the theorists said, people would be able to see that CTLAC for what it really is - a small group of disgruntled people with questionable motives.
