Amendments: 2 down
The Fla. Supreme Court tossed the double-your-homestead-exemption off the ballot in a 5-2 decision. (Whole 32-page decision is here in pdf form.) Good riddance. The court ruled its ballot summary was misleading.
It also tossed an amendment that would have forced a review of the state's many sales tax exemptions and limited the Legislature's power to create more. The justices said 7-0 that it violates the single-topic rule. (Decision can be read here pdf, 15 pages.)
