You're either lazy or dumb, maybe both. Never let anyone tell you how to vote.

Are we really THAT lazy (or dumb) where we have to be told how to vote on an amendment to our constitution? That's kind of a big deal and you should probably research it yourself.
my wife got mad at me for not telling her how to vote for them. I told her to look it up herself and make her own decisions. If you have questions i'll help. She, like a PMS woman, said, "I'll just vote for president and that's it" and I said "well if you're going to be lazy then good, don't vote on them, even though they are really the only thing you should be voting on in LA b/c your Trump vote won't matter here since he will win easy"

I'm good with #1 & #4. No on everything else.

This is the correct answer, if your goal is to reduce the size of centralized government.

This is so stupid, almost reckless, to simply vote no to everything without even reading what it is.
For example: Do you support allowing LSU to set its own tuition? If so, you should have voted YES to #2.
Or #4, which exempts property taxes on the survivors of active duty military & first responders killed during duty.
But yes, by all means....just vote no to everything.

Yarp.
And is the registrar a position that really needs a college degree? Is it much more complicated than data entry? If you require the position to be held by someone with a degree, it would probably need to be accompanied by a pay raise. It won't make a big difference for the state financially, I just don't see the point. We need fewer jobs looking for degree holders, not more.

please dont dude...
Why on earth should the state tell the local governments what to do with their tax base?
I know i get pissed all the time at the federal government taking away states rights as outlined in the 10th amendment... this is the EXACT SAME THING but instead of federal to state, its state to local.
the state of louisiana generates $0.00 from property taxes. Why should they be allowed to overreach?
If joe blow parish wants to exempt this from their tax base i am 100% for it because its local voters deciding local tax issues.
this is the biggest NO of them all. unless you believe in government overreach.
i get it, its an emotional vote and you will feel like a meanie if you vote no. but thats exactly what must be done.
leave it local because the state has NO STANDING in the issue.

I'm gonna vote no on all
1. Could adversely affect smaller communties, given that there's no guidelines that I see
2. Since the state is picking up the tab through tops, the legislative branch needs to have control. We've seen the spiraling cost of higher ed throughout the country and I can't imagine where we'd be without cost control..
3. No
4. Tough one but a no
5/6 seem like a way for the legislators to fix their mistakes without addressing the problems by taking appropriated trust funds away from their original intent..

No number 3 for sure.
It is huge tax increase.

Yes - makes it to where you have to have some qualifications other than your related to someone to get the job
Yes - LA is one of only 2 states left that still has to have the state representatives decide on tuition hikes for colleges. This would leave them out of that, like the other 48 states do.
No - Nothing positive would come from stopping the federal/state deduction
No - Thanks for your service in the armed forces, but no you don't need a full homestead exemption.
No - don't remember, something about special trust fund for mineral taxes that i'm sure won't get used appropriately.
No - amendment would make it easier to take funds from trust funds, like the one being proposed above to pay for deficits. Do your job right the first time and you wouldn't have to do this.
Good sense, and likewise

You have no class buddy. I simply asked for opinions. I was not rude to anyone. Atleast I got a discussion going about the amendments, which was my goal.

It is not clear in the language on the ballot that number 3 reduces top rates for corporations.
Is this intentional?
