amendment 1: The first legal challenge to Amendment 1 - 02/14/08 01:51 PM
Now that the property tax Amendment 1 has passed, it was inevitable that a lawsuit regarding its constitutionality would ensue.  I think most people knew it would be coming.  Governor Charlie Crist stated repeatedly that if passed the amendment's constitutionality would be upheld by the courts.  I guess now we will just wait and see what happens.  I mentioned that this might happen in my previous analysis of the amendment.
The attorneys filing this lawsuit are the same ones who filed a similar suit in 2007 challenging the original Save Our Homes amendment.  Their previous lawsuit was thrown out of court.

amendment 1: Florida Property Taxes – Analysis of Amendment #1 - 01/12/08 11:55 AM
On January 29, 2008, Floridians get to go to the polls and vote in the presidential primaries and for a constitutional amendment affecting property taxes known as Amendment #1.  The amendment's language is a little convoluted and confusing.  So I am going to do my best to give an unbiased breakdown on exactly what Amendment #1 is, what it will do, and the pros and cons about it.
You can read for yourself a sample ballot that includes the language for this amendment on the Seminole County Supervisor of Elections Website. Full text of the amendment can be found on the Florida … (48 comments)
