Dear editor,
There are only three proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot in November, but each one represents an important decision for Florida voters.
Do you enjoy our beautiful beaches?
Have you been camping recently in one of our state parks?
Do you remember what happened after the 2010 oil spill, from which we are still recovering?
If so, you should be especially interested in proposed Amendment 1: the Water and Land Conservation initiative. How and why did it get on the ballot, and what will a "yes" or a "no" vote mean on Nov. 5?
The League of Women Voters of Okaloosa County is providing an opportunity for you to find out all about Amendment 1: its background, what it means for Florida, who supports it, who opposes it and how much it will cost.
On Sept. 25 at 6 p.m. in the Destin Community Center (101 Stahlman Ave, Destin), Ron Houser of the Bay County Audubon Society will make the case for "Yes on #1," and the League will present counterarguments offered by the Florida Chamber of Commerce and other opponents.
Please join the League for this free event, so you can make an informed decision Nov. 5.
