Note to all the former NYSers down in Florida: You’ve seen what it’s done to NYS, especially Upstate. Why would you even think about going there?!

The good news is that 60% of the voters have to approve before the amendment is adopted.

The bad news is this is Florida we’re talking about. Almost chose commie Gollum for govnah.

Florida will be very hard for Trump to carry in 2020.

They are trying to get recreational marijuana on the ballot too. These two things are going to really increase Democratic turnout.

The government does not have the right to set a maximum or minimum hourly pay rate. Asking the people if it’s OK doesn’t change that fact.

Many fast food places will go under even chain ones, they are not doing as well as they’d like people think, to many young managers who think working 80+ hrs a week is OK won’t be able to meet pay role and make a profit. Especially in rural areas. That is all we have. Mom and Pop sit down’s have been driven out of business. Our biggest employer is the Grocery store.

Out of 17 amendments on the Florida 2018 ballot, 16 passed. I think most vote yes on all amendments. It would not shock me to see this pass.

This is the same state where Andrew Gillum got 49% of the vote for governor. Give enough people time to think about this and it will pass.

The minimum wage issue aside, Florida is an incredibly idiot state for allowing Constitutional Amendments on non constitutional issues. The constitution of the state isn’t worth it good damn when it can be constantly amended by referendum.

I really don’t understand why the state supreme court allows non constitutional issues to be injected into the state constitution. For example no smoking in bars and turtle Nets. May as well not even have a constitution, just have a referendum on every damn thing.

I pity this country. If these idiots think America will never replicate what is going on right now in Venezuela, they are mistaken. Those who look to government for their liberty and answers to life’s problems are mentally ill.

Alarmingly, nearly one-third --30 percent -- (of businesses surveyed) say they may be forced to go out of business, with 18 percent very likely to close. They do not think they could absorb the increase or pass it along to their customers.

They should be able to set a minimum wage. It is a states rights issue.

Mentally a lot of Freepers in the 60s and 70s think it is still 1974 and $15.00/hr sounds exorbitant. It’s not 1975, that was 44 years ago. Maybe $15.00 is too high but it isn’t crazy high.
