The legislature, or SOS, or whoever makes the decision to hide these things on random election dates is pure scum.

Also the terrible wording of these things makes you question WTF is going on. Won't be able to early vote, so have not really looked into these, but this is what you see:

quote:

---

CA No. 1 (ACT No. 405, 2024 - SB 177) - Provides relative to the investigative authority and membership of the judiciary commission

CA No. 2 (ACT No. 406, 2024 - HB 48) - Provides relative to the timing of consideration and required information of appropriations bills

CA No. 3 (ACT No. 407, 2024 - HB 49) - Allows the legislature to extend a regular session for a limited time period for a specific purpose

CA No. 4 (ACT No. 409, 2024 - SB 119) - Provides relative to the administration of tax sales of immovable property

---

Then you get to look further into it to decide what the hell is going on:

quote:

---

CA1: Do you support an amendment to allow the supreme court to sanction a judge upon an investigation by the judiciary commission, and provide that the recommended sanction shall be instituted by the judiciary commission or by a majority of the supreme court, and to provide for the appointment of five members of the judiciary commission? (Amends Article V, Section 25(C); adds Article V, Section 25(A)(4))

CA2: Do you support an amendment to require that the legislature wait for at least forty-eight hours prior to concurring in a conference committee report or amendments to a bill appropriating money? (Adds Article III, Section 16(F))

CA3: Do you support an amendment to allow the legislature to extend a regular session in increments of two days up to a maximum of six days if necessary to pass a bill appropriating money? (Amends Article III, Sections 2(A)(3)(a) and (4)(a); Adds Article III, Section 2(A)(5))

CA4: Do you support an amendment to eliminate mandatory tax sales for nonpayment of property taxes and require the legislature to provide for such procedures by law; to limit the amount of penalty and interest on delinquent property taxes; and to provide for the postponement of property tax payments under certain circumstances? (Amends Article VII, Section 25)

Now, we need to look into each of these articles to determine what the current rules/laws are and how these amendments will actually change the current rules.

Normal "go-to" source for unbiased review of amendments. They don't take positions.

Im thinking

#1 Yes
#2 No
#3 No
#4 No

(no message)

I firmly believe when it comes to electing representatives, senators, vice-president, and President, that election must be held on its own, without any amendment, tax, or other regulatory issue seen on that ballot.

Why?
