Here’s his remarks on Amendment Five:
Amendment 5 (Supermajority vote of the Florida legislature to raise state taxes or fees)-YES
Placed on the ballot by the Florida Legislature.
Amendment 5 would require a two-thirds vote of each chamber of Florida legislature to raise state taxes or fees or create new state taxes and fees. Currently, it just takes a simple majority of the Florida Legislature. We are taxed enough, and it should be difficult to extract more of our money.
