Vote No On Amendment 4
Vote No On Amendment 4
Soon Florida voters will be voting on Amendment 4. Amendment 4 is a proposed amendment of Florida’s constitution that would require taxpayer-funded referenda on all changes to local government comprehensive plans. In other words, this “Vote on Everything” amendment would force Floridians, not the representatives they elect, to decide hundreds of technical comprehensive plan changes each year. If passed, it will lead to Higher Taxes, Higher Unemployment and Government Gridlock.
According to a study conducted by The Washington Economics Group, Amendment 4 will reduce Florida’s economic output by $34 billion annually and will likely cost Florida 267,247 jobs. Amendment 4 means higher property taxes and higher costs for all of Florida’s working families. Voters will vote not only on big development projects but also on all minor or technical changes to their local comprehensive plan. Consider that in the last four years alone this would have meant over 10,000 costly elections across the state of Florida. More elections require more tax dollars to pay for them. Given Florida’s current economic climate Amendment 4 is the last thing the state needs.
