Below quotes from Florida Today:Just saw a post on Instagram about how there are two constitutional amendments on the ballot in Pasco County Florida. These would be fore the state constitution.
Amendment 1
Partisan Elections for School Board Members
Amendment 2
Right to Fish and Hunt
Number 1 sounds like ick to me. And I guantee Amendment 2 is likely about undermining previous regulations put in place to protect wildlife and their habitats.
"School board elections should be grassroots affairs, with the needs of parents, teachers, school administrators, taxpayers and, most importantly, students taking priority. We don't need one more type of election overrun with dark money spending, attack ads and agendas that have little to do with what's best for our children. Partisan school board elections would become even more nasty and divisive, pitting neighbors against one another. It was bad enough this year.""
"Amendment 2 would prohibit any bans on hunting and fishing, even when appropriate to preserve a threatened species. It establishes 'traditional' methods of hunting and fishing '... as a public right and preferred means of responsibly managing and controlling fish and wildlife.' Therein lies the rub. Hunting and fishing aren't the only ways to manage and control fish and wildlife. Conservation and land preservation work, too. But, those efforts will take a back seat to the 'traditional means,' whatever that means.”"
Hell yeah! Fuck those endangered species! /s
Also, these are on the ballot for the whole state. They are FL constitutional amendments.
(why do I live here again? lol)
