Amendment 4 Florida

Amendment 4 is a proposed amendment of Florida's constitution which would require taxpayer-funded referenda on all changes to local government comprehensive plans.

Amendment 4 Florida

In other words, this "Vote on Everything" amendment would force Floridians - not the representatives they elect - to decide hundreds of technical comprehensive plan changes each year.

Amendment 4 has the potential to devastate our communities by:

Stalling Development
Increasing the cost of Housing
Endless legal battles
260,000 jobs lost and that means fewer homebuyers
Higher Property Taxes

To see how a local version of Amendment 4 affected St Pete Beach, Florida watch this Youtube video:

and vote NO on Amendment 4.

Mahalo and a hui hou!

Lana: I am sorry... but this really seems like a silly idea. You elect people to represent you, and you choose those people according to their ability to do the right thing. Let them do their jobs. Voting on everything... just makes no sense at all.

While it has merits "in theory" it would be a horrible reality. The genenral public would be asked to vote on issues of which they have little or no understanding. The loss of time would send developers to more lucrative locations. "NO" is the only choice.
