Amendment 1 wins

During our election coverage on NewsRadio 1620 last night, I told co-host Marty Stanovich that I believed that if Amendment 1 got more than 68 percent of the vote in Miami-Dade, Palm Beach and Broward counties that it would pass. Those counties voted 684,125 to 294,482 for the property tax amendment – 69.9% Yes. Palm Beach County voted Yes:232,052 to No:96,321 – 70.7% Yes.

Looks like local governments will go on diets.
