Florida Is For Sale - Amendment 4

by JDWolverton

The Florida voter initiatives make for entertaining reading most election cycles, but every once in a while an important one slips into the stream. Amendment 4 is one of them.

I first noticed a "Vote No on Amendment 4" banner attached to a land developer's building. Then I saw one on a Rinker site - a company that provides fill for new construction sites.

That spurred some research.


In short:

Amendment 4 requires the voters ok any changes to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan* at the community's expense.
