[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our local Dems are saying to vote "yes" on both, but I'm planning on voting "no" for the flooding one and "yes" for the spouse of veterans one.
For the flooding one: I think we need to discourage continued building in flood prone areas. I also of course think we need to work on climate change, but I don't think this amendment is a good idea.
Agree the second one is not controversial.[/quote]

Why yes on the second one.  I am voting dem as well, but plan on voting no to both.  Not sure why the property tax relief should continue no matter where in state you move, just because your spouse was a veteran. Yes, I appreciate veterans and spouses, but fee at some point the exemptions for taxes just have to stop.

It's not giving them a new benefit, it's just letting them carry the existing benefit to a different property so you don't end up with military spouses stuck in homes that otherwise don't work for them after the veteran spouse dies (too expensive, not near family, etc.), because they can't afford to give up the property tax exemption.[/quote]

Well, if only the spouse could, you know, get a JOB to fund her choices, instead of suckling off the government teat.

Anyone voting yes to this had better not complain about useless people getting handouts.[/quote]
