In Florida one way we can exercise our power is by voting to accept or reject amendments to our constitution. Now there is a move afoot to make it almost impossible for citizens to have their say and to give much more power to the already powerful in Tallahassee.
The supporters of this move have amassed a $9 million war chest. They are using that war chest to advance a constitutional Amendment 4 on this year’s ballot, called “Voter Approval of Constitutional Amendments.” How deceptively ironic.
In effect, it would make voter approval of amendments twice as difficult as it already is. It would require 60 percent voter approval of future amendments in not one, but two consecutive election cycles!
