TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Feb. 18, 2010 – Curious what a ballot would look like should Amendment 4 pass? A sample Orange City one has 47 pages and 488 referendums.
“We knew ballots would be ponderous should Amendment 4 pass, and have made that point many times to Realtors and Floridians,” says Florida Realtors Vice President of Public Policy John Sebree. “This sample ballot, however, is far worse than we imagined. It’s beyond the comprehension of most land use experts, much less the average Floridian.”
The sample ballot looked at a single election, Nov. 8, 2005, in Orange City, Fla., a town in Volusia County. Multiple questions deal with concurrency, water management and technical changes.
Citizens for Lower Taxes and a Stronger Economy Inc. developed the sample ballot for their website, “Vote No on 4.” Florida Realtors and a number of local Realtor associations support the anti-Amendment 4 movement, along with many other groups across the political spectrum.
