Athlete of the Week

Smith’s 6 catches for 289 yards and 4 touchdowns helped the Cardinals win 55-23, while Keys, Peterson and Ellie also earned weekly honors.

  • On November 3, Florida voters will decide on Amendment 3, which raises the homestead exemption to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028. The proposal must overcome a 60% supermajority requirement to pass.
  • Florida voters approved the 60% rule in 2006 after lawmakers sought to prevent the state constitution from becoming cluttered with ordinary statutes. Proponents argued this higher wall would protect the document from easy amendment.
  • A new Mason-Dixon poll shows Amendment 3 polling at 55%, meaning the measure might fail despite potentially receiving a majority of votes. This illustrates how the threshold previously affected recreational marijuana and abortion access measures.
  • Critics note an irony: the 2006 amendment that created this 60% rule could not have passed under the standard it established. This creates a challenging environment where even popular proposals may fail.
  • The supermajority requirement acts as a double-edged sword, potentially blocking both 'bad' and 'good' ideas from passing. As political tides fluctuate, this rule may eventually hinder the side that originally championed it.
