Politics: It Isn’t even ABOUT “choice” – it really IS about “life”

Librin Latone

I have seen a LOT of posts about abortion lately. News articles about the New York law that passed, constant articles of other states (including GA) trying to prevent access or availability to abortion options.... and people claiming it's murder of a life. And as someone 7 months pregnant with a much-wanted child.... I don't… Continue reading Politics: It Isn’t even ABOUT “choice” – it really IS about “life”

Politics: Ga Amendment 1, Portion of Revenue from Outdoor Recreation Equipment Sales Tax Dedicated to Land Conservation Fund Amendment (2018)

Librin Latone

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… Continue reading Politics: Ga Amendment 1, Portion of Revenue from Outdoor Recreation Equipment Sales Tax Dedicated to Land Conservation Fund Amendment (2018)

Politics: Ga Amendment 2, Establish a State Business Court Amendment (2018)

Librin Latone

This is an easy one for me.  The gist of this bill is to take businesses from elected judges and allow them to go into a court with appointed judges.  And yes, it has to get passed by the State house & senate.  The GA house is currently 115 R to 64 D; the senate is… Continue reading Politics: Ga Amendment 2, Establish a State Business Court Amendment (2018)

Politics:Ga Amendment 3, Forest Land Conservation and Timberland Properties Amendment (2018)

Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended so as to revise provisions related to the subclassification for tax purposes of and… Continue reading Politics:Ga Amendment 3, Forest Land Conservation and Timberland Properties Amendment (2018)

Politics: GA Amendment 4, Marsy’s Law Crime Victim Rights Amendment (2018)

Librin Latone

This one I struggled with.  On the surface it is a great idea and I 100% support it.  There are so many good reasons!  And yet... this is where I really struggle with the American "justice" system. So the text on the ballot will be: Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended so as to provide… Continue reading Politics: GA Amendment 4, Marsy’s Law Crime Victim Rights Amendment (2018)

Politics: Ga Amendment 5, School Sales Tax Referendums Amendment (2018)

Librin Latone

Amendment 5 would amend the Georgia Constitution to authorize a school district or group of school districts within a county to call for a sales and use tax referendum. The referendum called by the school districts would then have to be approved by a majority of the qualified voters residing within the limits of the county. -https://ballotpedia.org/Georgia_Amendment_5,_School_Sales_Tax_Referendums_Amendment_(2018)… Continue reading Politics: Ga Amendment 5, School Sales Tax Referendums Amendment (2018)
