What\u2019s on the ballot<\/p>\n
This election cycle has no shortage of issues on the ballot and voters say they are informed and ready to weigh in.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think property taxes have to be cut. Again, given all the growth of this state, my concern is how much, and does Amendment 3 go too far to where in a downturn, there\u2019s a shortfall if things go south,\u201d Chris said, a Duval County resident.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope the senators and representatives do what we ask,\u201d said Michael Beldon.<\/p>\n
What to bring to the polls<\/p>\n
