Constitutional Amendment on ballot

Among the various state and local election choices voters will have to consider is a constitutional amendment to allow counties, cities and villages to acquire, own, develop and lease of finance real and personal property by nonprofit enterprises for non religious purposes. Another provision in the amendment allows localities to issue revenue bonds in order to acquire such property.

Localities will not be able to condemn any land or property as part of the acquisition process, nor will localities be able to levy any tax to pay for any such purchase permitted under the proposed amendment.

Theguardiannews provides this information in order to let voters know the potential impact on their choices in the upcoming primary election next Tuesday.
