This is another easy one. This initiative allows Georgia to use sales tax from sporting goods to be put in a trust fund for conservation. Honestly, my mind was made up when I saw it was supported by The Conservation Fund, The Georgia Conservancy, Georgia Wildlife Federation, The Nature Conservancy, Park Pride, and The Trust for Public Land. Several of those organizations I would trust to support this law if they thought it would actually be useful – not just a squeeze on people to get money for other uses.
It also will expire in 10 years and can be extended in 10-year increments. I like laws that expire. I think there should be a constitutional amendment for any law to have to be re-written/extended in X time. Any law older than N should be automatically expired (ie those funny laws from the 1800s that are just weird now). Now, should that be 5, 10, 50, 100 years? I dunno. I’d want to hear other opinions to settle on that number. I’d be happy just starting the conversation.
Anywho. This was another easy one – a yes.
