This article/site explains the 14 Amendments ... not sure who they are, but, the descriptions of each amendment, along with what a FOR or AGAINST vote means, seem unbiased ....
I am against Prop # 8. I have to pay for high-speed internet access. I do not want my money to subsidize some “poor, uneducated minority individual” who simply does not want to work so that he/she/it can get free internet access.
Yes on #3, so they can’t prevent descendants from inheriting
Yes on #4 so property taxes are lower, folks over 65 get tax ceilings lowered, and CAD officials get —elected— not —selected—.
Not sure on #1; leaning yes so farmers and ranchers don’t lose their livelihoods to city extraterritorial jurisdiction.
Not sure on #9; leaning yes because retired teachers haven’t gotten a cost of living raise in decades.
Yes on #12 to eliminate the Galveston treasurer’s office.
No on everything else; if it says “fund” it means taxes will go up.
Prop 12 seems oddly specific. What’s going on there?
I’m certainly not willing to pay for city parks in El Paso.
No on 5 - no money for woke indoctrination via higher education.
No on 6 - looks like something lobbyists would buy to line someones pockets at taxpayer expense.
No on 7 - unlike 6, this was obviously bought by lobbyists to enrich the rich further at taxpayer expense.
No on 8 - see 7.
No on 9 - at least we know who hired the lobbyists for this one.
No on 10 - See 6 or 7 - private enrichment at Taxpayer expense.
No on 11 - Already mentioned. Let the Democrats in El Paso build their own parks
No on 12. Sounds like a personal vendetta. Settle it with a duel on the beach at dawn. Don’t drag the whole state into what looks like a personal fight.
14 - Suspicious of who is going to end up with the money. Also wonder if this has anything to do with Little P’s plan for the Alamo.
I’ve yet to locate an honest to goodness concise analysis of these Amendments.
