On the Florida ballot in 2010 is Amendment 4 to the Florida constitution requiring voters to approve all local comprehensive land use plan changes. The “vote on everything” amendment has been written by some of the states most extreme special interest groups. The group has tried and failed three times to place their amendment on the ballot and have finally found enough signatures to qualify.
Being passed off as an advocate for “Hometown Democracy,” “Amendment 4” to the status quo is more appropriate. In fact, this amendment would have required an average of over 10,599 additional local votes per year in Florida, and had Amendment 4 been in place in 2006, the voters of Carrabelle - a small Franklin County town - would have seen 617 separate questions in a single ballot!

It is obvious to anyone who take the time to discover the facts, that this amendment will do more harm than good. And while I don't believe the status quo is acceptable, I'm absolutely certain that Amendment 4 is worse, far worse and far more costly to the taxpayers.
