I found these non-biased UF publications useful in informing my thoughts on the upcoming vote. I'm sure they will help you out as well. Here is a summary and analysis on the pros/cons of each of the ballot items of proposed state constitutional amendments that Floridians will be voting on. Now if only we could get UF to do non-biased publications on those running for office.
2012 Florida Constitutional Amendments Series
In addition to 2012 being a presidential election year, Florida voters also will be asked to vote on a number of proposed amendments to their state constitution. Many voters remain either unaware or less informed regarding the effects and impacts of the proposed constitutional amendments. This series of 6 fact sheets was written by Rodney L. Clouser, and published by the UF Department of Food and Resource Economics, July 2012.
