Anybody have any links to share about proposed amendments?

Of course, yes on 4, but what about the rest? I've googled some but can't find any democratic progressive information on the rest of the ballot amendments. I read the amendments and re read them but can't make heads nor tails. You have to be a lawyer to understand some of the legalese.

I am not voting Yes on 13, which eliminates dog racing.

I have a friend who owns and races greyhounds. I met him in Las Vegas although he is from Miami Beach and returned there. He showed me scrapbook after scrapbook of dogs he has owned and pictures from their races, along with stories and pictures of the dogs after their racing career ends. He is very concerned about that and has a friend who does a great job finding homes for them.

I realize this is an argument I will not win around here.

My friend is in his early 60s and has raced dogs for decades. What is he supposed to turn to, if his profession is taken away?

High percentage of people who specialize in dog racing live and work in Florida, since 12 of 18 remaining tracks nationally are in Florida.
