Vote NO on 1, ?? on 2
What are the reasons for and against voting in favor of the second constitutional referendum, which would freeze property taxes on seniors?
I'm undecided, but only because I don't feel that I've thought through all of the ramifications. I'm too tired to look into "who's behind it" or why they wish to bring it to pass: if its outcome is good, and it has no predictable negative side effects, then why not?
Then again, if we were to ever advance medicine and other disciplines to ensure longevity well past what we now know it to be, age 65 might seem ridiculous as a cutoff point. It may someday be like freezing property taxes now for those thirty-five or older. A statute is easier to update than the Constitution is to amend. It's just a thought, and I realize that a whole lot of other things would have to adjust as well.
What's your opinion?
