In all honesty, I didnt vote on this because I didn't understand the issue, nor their explanation.
Its also the first time I heard of it, and I really try to stay abreast. So, since I never heard of it til today, at the booth, I considered it a bombardment, which I don't do, so I backed away.
Normally, I would say not voting on something that you have not decided upon a choice is a vote with INTEGRITY.
But in the case of a change to a state's Constitution, I wonder if a NO vote is better, as defeats may encourage better efforts to give voters more info on the change. Still working on what are proper defaults for voting ambiguous stuff.
I agree. If its a law, it can always be repealed if it doesn't work out. Once its enshrined in (any) Constitution, good luck ever undoing that.
You should always be ok to vote NO for anything with the word TAX in it, unless it is a decrease.
My friends are voting different ways on this amendment. I think they word these things the way they do to confuse us. I'm thinking of voting no on this one because it sounds a little funny about the adding taxes, they have been adding taxes to our properties a lot lately it seems, usually saying it's for the schools (I call bs on that). In our area we also have to pay registration fees just for the kids to go to public schools, and they also charge fees for some of the classes and want you to send in a bunch of items for the teacher & class to use.
After cutting away all of the clever semantics, I am certain that this is just an extra, useless tax.
Yes, they convolute the wording intentionally. I don't trust anything that's not clearly spelled out and as easy to comprehend as our 6th grade-level Constitution.
Wish I had a bit more time to read over this and digest it, but that's why I call it the "bombardment". I don't play that sh**.
