Dumb Floridians
So I was thinking about voters in Florida today. Well more like last night but it carried over to today. I noticed that teachers, in Florida, have a good chance of being let go because there isn't enough money to pay them. Lets see why is that....hmmm...maybe because voters decided to pass an amendment that would take away taxes needed to pay for things like teachers, emergency services, our police...etc. My sister is a teacher and she was told that she would be affected by this amendment. There just isn't enough money. Some schools have said they will try to cut non instructional staff first but it's crazy. Back to voters...it amazes me how they just don't look into what they are voting for. These days if an amendment needs a yes to go through you know it's going to go through. Most voters just vote yes for everything. A perfect example was the fast rail. the first time everyone voted for it you put yes to make it happen. Next time yes to make it not happen...amazing how it's not happening. I'm just venting because I'm mad. I know another problem is we have a large retired population in this state and for them it's what is best for them right now not the overall...still frustrating...

That sucks. Which amendment was it? I voted NO on 1! :)
But you know, the way they word things is really tricky, cause even tho I read up on it, I was still confused - do I vote yes or no? Plus, there were a ton of billboards with our friggin governor's face on it, screaming - VOTE YES FOR ONE! So you think, heck, if the guvna wants it, then it must be good for us! hmph.
Yeah it was 1. And you are right some can be confusing but a lot are very straight forward and people just don't read...crack heads!! haha.
