Proposed Constitutional Amendment “A” would prohibit the General Assembly from raising the maximum state income tax rate.

Vote “yes.” Two of our neighbors, Florida and Tennessee, have no state income tax. North Carolina recently lowered its state tax. That makes those states more attractive to business and industry looking to relocate. Preventing an increase in Georgia sends the positive message that our state is committed to low taxes.

Proposed Constitutional Amendment “B” would add reckless-driving fees to the state’s brain and spinal injury trust fund, which helps pay for care and rehab for victims of such injuries.

Vote “yes.” Those types of injuries often are sustained in vehicle crashes. The logic is obvious.

Proposed Statewide Referendum 1 would give tax-exempt status to University System of Georgia property that’s privately managed and operated – mostly dorms and parking decks.

Vote “yes.” It will make student-housing management more efficient, and it will extend much-needed financial relief to the University System. This is part of a larger privatization plan that could rid the system of $4 billion in debt.
