Florida Constitution amendments: What they do, pro and con

Orlando Sentinel - Mark Skoneki, Gary Rohrer & Dan Sweeney

F

lorida voters face a wide range of issues when it comes to amendments on the Nov. 6 ballot this year.

Samuel J. Roberts, Publisher/Editor

There are 12 in all. Three had been challenged in the courts, but the Florida Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that they could stay on the ballot. Amendment 8, which would have turned over control of charter schools to the state, was stricken from the ballot by the Supreme Court. It takes 60 percent of the vote to approve an amendment.

Here is how each breakdown, in plain English, and with arguments for and against: Amendment 1 What it says: It would provide another $25,000 homestead tax exemption for properties assessed at $100,000 or more. School taxes would be exempt. Typical property owners would see their tax bills drop by about $250 per year, officials estimate.

Pro: Supporters say the tax cut would put money in the pockets of residents and improve the economy. They also say property values are expected to rise in the coming years, so local governments should be able to make up shortfalls through increased revenues brought in by the growing tax base and from new construction.

Con: Local governments warn that Amendment 1 could hurt crucial services such as police and fire protection. Statewide, the exemption would cost counties and cities about $750 million, according to the Florida Association of Counties.

Political leaders could make up the difference by raising the tax rate, but many are reluctant to do that Amendment 2 What it says: It would permanently adopt an already-existing cap that limits property tax assessment increases to 10 percent annually for “non-homestead” property such as commercial or rental properties. This would prevent repeal of the cap scheduled to expire in 2019.

Pro: Florida TaxWatch argues that adopting this amendment is crucial to prevent a huge tax increase. “Loss of the nonhomestead cap could have some serious impacts on Florida, decreasing disposable income, increasing rents and business costs, and exacerbating and perpetuating the existing inequities of Florida’s property tax system,’’ a TaxWatch report says.

Con: Local governments could benefit from more tax revenues if the 10 percent limit goes away. However, the Florida Association of Counties voted to remain neutral on the amendment.

Amendment 3 What it says: It would give Florida residents the “exclusive right” to decide whether to authorize casino gambling through

the citizens initiative process that puts amendments on the ballot. That means the Legislature couldn’t pass laws to expand gambling or put an amendment on the ballot to do so.

Pro: Groups who oppose expanded gambling have lined up behind this amendment, including Orlando-based No Casinos, the League of Women Voters, Walt Disney Co. and the Seminole Tribe, which already operates casinos in the state. As of late September, Disney had spent nearly $20 million to pass the amendment while the Seminoles contributed nearly $17 million.

Con: Citizens for the Truth About Amendment 3 is opposed. It has received financial backing from Jacksonville Greyhound Racing Inc. and the Fontainebleau Florida Hotel in Miami Beach, according to campaign-finance reports.

Amendment 4 What it says: It would restore the voting rights people convicted of felonies, except for murderers or felony sex offenders, after they finish their sentences.

Pro: Supporters argue Florida is one of just four states that doesn’t automatically restore the civil rights of nonviolent, ex-felons. The system imposed by Gov. Rick Scott and the Cabinet in 2011 requires felons to wait five... Cont. pg 7 1969 Alafaya Trail • Orlando, FL 32828 Office: 407-427-1800

Caribbean Art on Display for Art Basel Season 2018 at FIU’s Frost Art Museum Florida International University’s Frost Art Museum, the Smithsonian Affiliate in Miami, announces a powerful new season of exhibitions and programming for Art Basel Season 2018 in Miami.

Headlining this year is Relational Undercurrents: Contemporary Art of the Caribbean Archipelago (Oct. 13 – Jan. 13), the first major survey of this size and scope of 21st century art by 67 contemporary Caribbean artists representing 14 Caribbean countries, whose works offer expansive perspectives that transcend the boundaries imposed upon Caribbean cultures.

“Because of Miami’s geographic proximity to the Caribbean nations, as well as our cultural mosaic which Caribbean cultures have shaped, it was important for us to bring this exhibition to Miami during Art Basel season,” said Dr. Jordana Pomeroy, the Director of the museum.

“Our new season opens up a dialogue about global commonalities rather than differences, from ecological changes to societal values around the world.”

Nearly seventy works by Caribbean painters, installation artists, sculptors, photographers, video and performance artists connect through ideas that go beyond language barriers, politics, and historic colonial divides.

Artists in Relational Undercurrents include: Allora & Calzadilla, Edouard Duval-Carrie, Adler Guerrier, Deborah Jack, Glenda Leon, Beatriz Santiago Munoz, Angel Otero, Manuel Pina, Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, Jimmy Robert and Didier William, among others.

quite severe and it is going to cost a lot of money to bring relief to people who have been affected. " “The situation is bad in the St Helena/Kelly area as these communities are still experiencing very high levels of water and the roads cannot be used by vehicular traffic.

“Rescue operations continue with the Coast Guard utilizing boats to reach stranded persons. I want to assure persons that the Government is doing all that it can to, in the first instance, rescue trapped persons and then to ensure that they have the resources they need when they get to the shelters.

“I am heading to the Sangre Grande area now which has also been affected adversely. I am very disappointed to learn of reports of looting in this Eastern district. The police have clamped down on this and are on hand to ensure law and order.”

Florida Voters Amendments 2018...Cont. page 3 to seven years before seeking restoration of voting rights, which advocates say is unfair. They point out that about 1.6 million Florida felons are ineligible to vote.

Con: Scott and others argue the state must carefully consider the cases of felons before restoring their rights. A non-profit organization called Floridians For A Sensible Voting Rights Policy opposes it, arguing that “the value of every legal vote is diluted and diminished by every illegal vote cast by felons, non-citizens, dead people, imposters, identity thieves, and people voting more than once.’’

Amendment 5 What it says: It would require a two-thirds vote of each chamber of the Legislature to impose new taxes or fees or to increase existing ones. Currently, most taxes and fees can be raised through a simple majority. It also requires that any tax or fee increase be a stand-alone bill.

Pro: The amendment was placed on the ballot by the Republicancontrolled Legislature and Gov. Rick Scott. They argue it should be more difficult to raise taxes than it is to cut them. It also has the support of Florida TaxWatch and the Florida Chamber of Commerce.

Con: Detractors complain the amendment contains no exception for times of disaster or other emergencies and allows the Legislature to dodge its duty to manage tax revenues. Opponents include the League of Women Voters of Florida, Progress Florida and the Florida Education Association.

Amendment 6 What it says: The so-called Marsy’s Law amendment would greatly expand victims’ rights in criminal proceedings by providing protection from the accused, notification if bail is granted and shielding victims’ personal information. Victims also would get notification and access to all proceedings; input into pre-sentencing investigations; and access to sentencing reports. The amendment also would raise the mandatory retirement age of judges from 70 to 75.

Finally, it would require that judges, before ruling on a case, to decide if a state agency had interpreted the law in question correctly.

Pro: Marsy’s Law for Florida argues that the amendment would permanently secure rights for victims. The group is spending millions of dollars on a TV campaign to argue for the amendment’s passage.

Con: Opponents include the American Civil Liberties Union and the League of Women Voters. They argue that many of the provisions in the measure already are enshrined in the constitution, and the amendment could burden the already-harried court system with additional responsibilities.

Amendment 7 What it says: To raise any fee — tuition not included — a university board of trustees would need nine votes out of its 13 members. For a fee to be raised systemwide, the State University System’s Board of Governors would need 12 out of 17 members to approve.

Additionally, surviving spouses of military members and first responders killed in the line of duty would receive a payment of death benefits from the state and would have some educational costs at public institutions waived. This was one of the amendments that had been challenged in the Supreme Court.

Pros: The costs of college could be kept down by requiring a higher threshold to increase fees. The amount of taxpayer dollars it would cost to pay out death benefits and educational expenses is negligible.

Cons: Like Amendment 5, which makes it harder for the Legislature to raise taxes, setting the bar higher to increase fees would allow a small group of trustees to prevent any fee raises, potentially handicapping a university’s ability to pay for services.

Amendment 9 What it says: Offshore drilling would be banned in Florida territorial waters, about nine miles west of the coast and three miles east or to the Gulf Stream, whichever is farthest. The amendment would add vaping to the state’s ban on smoking in indoor workplaces. This was one of the amendments that had been challenged in the Supreme Court.

7

Pro: For environmentalists, a constitutionally mandated ban on offshore drilling would be a big win. As for vaping, there’s still a great deal of disagreement about just how bad secondhand ecigarette vapor is compared with traditional cigarette smoke. But most of the studies out so far show that, while not as harmful as smoke, it’s also not 100 percent safe.

Con: There’s the potential loss of state revenue that would come with selling offshore drilling rights. Vapers would have to go outside Amendment 10 What it says: It would permanently move legislative sessions in even-numbered years to January. It also would set constitutional requirements of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement counter-terrorism office and the state’s Department of Veterans Affairs. Finally, it requires all counties to have an elected a sheriff, tax collector, property appraiser, supervisor of elections, and clerk of court.

Pro: For some, having elected positions rather than these constitutional officers being appointed by an elected body means more accountability Con: County governments, including some in Central Florida, are opposed to state-mandated restrictions on their charters.

Amendment 11 What it says: This would delete obsolete wording regarding a high-speed rail amendment that has since been repealed and wording that bans property ownership for “aliens ineligible for citizenship.” It would also remove a constitutional provision that holds that changes to criminal statutes do not affect prosecutions for crimes committed before the changes were made. This was one of the amendments that had been challenged in the Supreme Court.

Pro: The already overly long Florida Constitution would be just a little more precise with the removal of the language.

Con: A group of former Republican officials, including former Lt. Govs. Jeff Kottkamp and Jennifer Carroll, formed a group called Save Our Constitution, which opposes all measures on the ballot because the Constitution Revision Commission bundled provisions in different subject matters.

Amendment 12 What it says: Elected officials would be banned from lobbying the bodies they were elected to for six years after leaving office.

Former justices and judges would also be banned for six years from lobbying the legislative or executive branches of state government. In addition, the amendment would ban any elected official from using their office to receive a “disproportionate benefit” for themselves, their families or their businesses.

Pro: With the Legislature’s eight-year term limit, lawmakersturned-lobbyists would be unable to lobby most former colleagues Con: It remains to be seen how much teeth this would have, given that the amendment leaves it up to the Legislature to determine what penalties lawmakers would face Amendment 13 What it says: Greyhound racing would be banned by 2021, and track owners would be allowed to keep their gambling permits even if they halt racing by 2019. In other words, Florida’s 11 dog tracks would still be able to operate as card rooms and, in Broward and Miami-Dade counties, larger-scale casinos that offer slot machines.

Pro: For animal rights advocates, the end of dog racing in Florida would be a huge coup. Florida has more dog tracks than the rest of the country combined.

Cons: Greyhound trainers, breeders and others involved in the business say the end of live dog racing in Florida means significant job losses

JAMAICAN DIASPORA TO HOST UNITED LEADERSHIP SUMMIT Representatives of the Jamaican Diaspora Leadership in the United States of America (USA) will be holding a three-day Leadership Summit, in Morrow, Georgia, to focus on the development of the organisation’s US-based leadership and strengthen its remit to Jamaica. The event will take place at the Morrow Center in Morrow, Georgia, November 16-18.

“The main purpose of the Summit will be to formulate a cohesive Jamaican Diaspora Development Plan, which will rationalise the work of the Diaspora network across the USA,” said Wayne Golding, Southeast Diaspora Advisory Board Representative, who worked in concert with the two other Advisory Board Members, Dr. Rupert Francis (West/Mid-West) and Mrs. Akelia Lawrence-Maitland (Northeast), to design the underlying principles for the summit. Dr. Rupert Francis noted, “after months of discussion, the leaders from the three Diaspora Advisory Groups in the USA accept that we were operating as indiv-

8

idual responders and focusing on development in Jamaica, rather than consolidating our USA-based operations, to enable everyone to appreciate what we aim to achieve collectively, based on measurable, timed objectives.”

“Our objective is to stimulate our USA-based network to become a structured entity, with focused leadership and a structured plan, to enhance our contributions to Jamaica,” Mr. Golding outlined.

The Atlanta Jamaica Association’s (AJA) Cultural and Education Fund is the official non-profit partner for the summit; and it is supported by The Jamaica National Group, a legacy partner of the biennial Jamaica Diaspora Conference and presenting sponsor for the summit.

Florida driver’s license Florida identification card US passport Government employee card Military identification Student identification Veteran health identification (from the US Department of Veterans Affairs) If you don’t have a valid ID or if it is lost, you must request a “provisional ballot” and sign it. Your provisional ballot will be examined by the Supervisor of Elections for eligibility and, if deemed to be valid, will be counted as a vote.

What about early voting?

Florida allows for early voting. It depends on the county in Florida, but most counties have early voting from October 27, 2018 to November 3, 2018. Early voting periods were limited by Governor Rick Scott, but the state now mandates a minimum of 8 days for early voting and permits individual county Supervisors of Elections to offer additional “optional” days of early voting. (Contact your country Supervisor of Elections to see if your county offers optional days.) There are fewer polling places open for early voting than for voting on November 6, and the polls are open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

VOTE November 6th

What about vote-by-mail or “absentee” voting?

Florida allows for absentee voting or voting-by-mail.

You can request (in person, in writing, by phone, or online) an absentee ballot through the Supervisor of Elections in your county and it will be mailed to you.

You no longer need a reason to vote by mail, such as being out of the county on Election Day. However, you must request the absentee/vote-by-mail ballot six days prior to the election and these ballots must be received by the Supervisor of Elections by 7:00 PM on Election Day. Overseas uniformed members of the armed services and American citizens living overseas have a deadline of September 22, 2018 for the vote-by-mail ballot.

Where do I vote?

Your voter identification card will list the location of your precinct/polling site or you can simply contact the Supervisor of Election in your country. You must vote in your assigned polling site on Election Day and the polls are open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

Sen. Bill Nelson works to reduce racial health disparities and discrimination For Black women, the risk of death from pregnancy-related causes is three to four times higher than for white women.

Black women are twice as likely to suffer from lifethreatening pregnancy complications during pregnancy.

U.S. Senator Bill Nelson joined fellow Senator Kamala D. Harris as a co-sponsor of her legislation to reduce the racial disparities in maternal mortality and morbidity. The Maternal Care Access and Reducing Emergencies (CARE) Act will reduce the increasing rate of deaths among Black mothers resulting from pregnancy or childbirth.

“This bill is a step towards ensuring that all women have access to culturally competent, holistic care, and to address the implicit biases in our system,” according to Senator Harris. Senator Nelson agreed adding, “This legislation will set us on the right path to needed accessible healthcare solutions.”

14

Nelson is fighting for accessible, affordable healthcare and to preserve coverage for those with pre-existing conditions. African Americans lead the nation with the highest incidence of heart disease, cancer, hypertension and diabetes with their rates doubling and tripling the illnesses among all other groups. “Dealing with these illnesses is critical to our pursuit of wellness. Accessibility, affordability, and care for those with pre-existing conditions will save so many lives in our community.

Senator Nelson has shown real leadership on these issues,” according to Lauren Thornton, M.D. The Maternal CARE Act addresses racial and ethnic disparities in women’s health – including in maternal mortality. The bill addresses bias in judgment or behavior resulting from implicit attitudes and stereotypes.

Immigration News For Our Community custody immediately.

By Attorney Gail S. Seeram, Gail@GailLaw.com 1-877-GAIL-LAW @GailSeeram

The U.S. Supreme Court (with Trump new appointee, Justice Kavanaugh) will decide Nielsen v. Preap and determine whether thousands of longtime U.S. residents face indefinite detention without a hearing. Nielsen is a class action brought by a group of immigrants in the Ninth Circuit who have been or are being detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1226, a provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act. That section authorizes federal authorities to detain any alien who may be subject to “removal”—the technical term for deportation. That term covers a lot of immigrants—bordercrossers arrested after entering the U.S. illegally, tourists or students who have overstayed their visas, and lawful permanent residents who have committed certain crimes.

The issue to be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court is whether a criminal alien becomes exempt from mandatory detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(c) if, after the alien is released from criminal custody, the Department of Homeland Security does not take him into immigration

17

The statute creates two classes of “removable” aliens—first, ordinary detainees who have NOT committed crimes but are facing removal on other grounds and second, “criminal aliens” facing removal because of criminal convictions.

For the “criminal alien” group, the statute says that “when the alien is released” from imprisonment, the government “shall take [him or her] into custody.” These immigrants get no bond hearing; they must be held in detention until their cases are resolved.

This is the issue in Nielsen v. Preap: It is not whether authorities can detain these aliens—they can. But does the statute really deny bond hearings to “criminal aliens” who have been released and has returned to a community, established a family and put down roots, and lived a blameless life since that brush with the law? In other words, can criminal aliens be detained indefinitely without bond ONLY when release from prison straight into ICE custody OR can criminal aliens be detained indefinitely without bond when release from prison straight into ICE custody AND even is released into the community and later apprehended by ICE.

Back to Africa - by Tony Deyal Every family has at least one secret to hide, one black sheep to stay far from, and one skeleton in its capacious cupboard, most likely built with materials from the family tree. .

Since the days of Old Mother Hubbard, cupboards have developed into cabinets, closets, sideboards, buffets, presses and even wardrobes. Over time, they have become more transparent, with lots of glass so there is nothing left to rumour or the imagination.

The last refuge of what Sir Lancelot, the calypsonian, having found out that his daddy was not his daddy but his daddy didn't know, referred to as "shame and scandal in de family" is DNA, the hereditary material in humans and all other organisms.

BLOND AND GREEN EYES .

My grandmother, who all of us called 'Ma', the child of Indian indentured immigrants, was blond with green eyes. It was rumoured that her father, who was dark-skinned, wanted to drown the baby since it in no way resembled him in features or complexion. Anyhow, she survived and lived to bear many children, including my father.

I was eight years old when she died, and in those days, the Hindu ceremonies, traditions and superstitions included spreading ashes on a tray and placing it outside the doorway overnight. Whatever imprints you found in the morning would tell you the form the person took in the reincarnation cycle.

My aunt, who shared the house with my grandmother, used to rear chickens, and yet was convinced that the footprints found in the ashes were her mother's next step on the reincarnation roundabout. Ma had become a fowl.

DNA KIT .

Even at that age, I was less concerned about where Ma went to and more intrigued about where she came from. My father was extremely light-skinned and, despite working in the cane field for much of his life, never had a tan. Instead, his skin got increasingly red. When some red hair sprouted on my chin, I thought that Ma's 'real' father had to be Scottish, partly because of the beard but more because there were a lot of Scot engineers working in the sugar factories.

It took my big son, George, using DNA, to find out the truth. He took a DNA kit from a company called 23andme and found out that while the combination of my genes and his mother's made him 96 per cent South Asian, he was 3.6 per cent Irish. It seems that even before the British took over Trinidad in 1797, there were already Irish here. In fact, Sir Ralph Abercromby's troops landed at a place called Mucurapu, which historian Gerard Besson says "was then a sugar factory called Peru, which belonged to an Irish family named Devenish". So, as another Calypsonian, this time Gypsy, sang, the Irish were here for cane.

BLOODY-MINDEDNESS There was another question from my grandmother's birth that grew in importance to me, and I shared with George and my other children. My mother had told me that Ma's family came from Nepal. In truth, my father and I both looked Nepalese - short legs and stocky build. When I was a Hubert Humphrey Fellow, the Nepalese students initially thought I was one of them. What interested me most was my bloody-mindedness and aggression. It had to come from the Gurkhas, and while it may be self-made myth or wishful thinking, I still cling to that part of Ma's story. George's DNA report showed that South Asian could be Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Afghan or, for that matter, Nepalese. Anxious to know more, George and his wife, Sara, gave me a DNA kit from 23andme for my 73rd birthday. Anxious to learn more, I spit several times in the bottle that was part of the kit and sent my DNA sample on a voyage of discovery waiting for the spit to hit the fan.

EASTERN AFRICA I am less than four per cent Neanderthal, and because of that, I am less likely to sneeze after I eat dark chocolate.

My maternal haplogroup (common ancestry on my mother's side) makes it clear that I descend from a woman who lived approximately 8,500 years ago and she came from a long line of women who can be traced back to Eastern Africa more than 150,000 years ago.

My father's haplogroup goes back 250,000 years to East Africa and the key person is a man who lived 33,000 years ago. The group includes gypsies, and my having lived in so many places during my lifetime seems to verify this.

The fact that we are all descended from Africans is well known, but what I didn't know is that I am 89.2 per cent Asian and 9.9 per cent European, with the Irish in me being about 6.9 per cent, but with a little Iberian thrown into it, but not enough for me to write in Spanglish ? No? ASPARAGUS AND BALD SPOT What I found out is that there are a lot of diseases I am not carrying, including agnesis of the corpus callosum with peripheral neuropathy, or Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa (LAMB3-related). My sigh of relief ended with my slightly increased risk of late-onset Alzheimer's disease, the detection, but not greater risk, of age-related macular degeneration and a variant of hereditary haemochromatosis. The good news is that I am more likely to be able to match a musical pitch and smell asparagus, can taste things that are bitter, and am not likely to be afraid of heights. The bad news is the little upper back hair and bald spot. There are a lot of other things, but because of the Alzheimer's, I forgot them all.

Tony Deyal was last seen saying that the 23andme people found 1,032 relatives for him and will probably find many more if he ever wins the lottery, something they ignored in his DNA.
