Opinions on the Proposed Constitutional Amendments
As someone who has never voted, and will be doing so for the first time. I'm curious about these proposed constitutional amendments. And I'm curious about the general opinions about them. I would like to make an informed, and good choice. The third option about the next generation 911 service seems to be an obvious yes. But the other two I don't know anything about.
