Vote YES on #3. Two Reasons:
1. The High Speed Rail Mandate
2. The Smaller Classroom Size Mandate
Both of these issues were placed on the ballot and Passed by the voters. However - NO ONE EVER EXPLAINED HOW WE WERE SUPPOSED TO PAY FOR THESE!!!!!!
Sure, it's easy to say "Yeah! I'd like that!" and vote yes to these mandates. But does anyone ever stop to think about how these initiatives would be paid without raising our taxes?
Don't get me wrong - I am in favor of both these issues. I'd love to see high speed rail in Florida and smaller class sizes. But these things cost money and until someone does an objective study on how to pay for these (outside of MASSIVE tax increases - remember, we have no State Income Tax - Yet) then I don't want them - or anything like them on the ballot.
I mean - how do Floridians expect to pay for these things? Surely voting for government mandates like these is like saying "Yeah - yank some more money out of my pockets!"
Again, as I stated in the previous POST.. we need to VOTE NO on Constitutional Ammendments and hold our legislature accountable.... it is WAY too easy for the legislature to pass the buck to the people.... but the answer is not to take away the "power of the people"...
