Florida Constitutional Amendments for November 2008 Elections
The PDF below contains a detailed summary of Florida amendments for the 2008 presidential elections. There are nine amendments proposed to the state constitution and these cover a gamut of issues ranging from banning gay marriages and the funding of public education institutions.
The repealing of the “Alien Land” Law would surely be a step in the right direction. In Florida aliens ineligible for citizenship are not allowed to own land, the proposed amendment would do away with the legislature’s right to regulate and prohibit property ownership by aliens, for example Mexicans and Asians. Most American states have repealed such laws but the state of Florida is yet to do so.
The amendment proposes a constitutional ban on gay marriages and intends to define a marriage only in terms of a legal union between a man and a woman. A welcome amendment would be the tax exemption of improvements done on residential property for energy efficiency and windstorm protection.
