Amendments advice: Where does it fall on the freedom scale?

Longtime Business Observer readers know our litmus tests for amendments to the state constitution are these questions: 

• Will the effect of the amendment increase and/or protect individual freedom fairly, or will it restrict or take away individual freedom? If it’s the former, we likely will recommend a “yes” vote; if it’s the latter, a “no” vote.

• Will the amendment limit the power and/or scope of government? If yes, we recommend a “yes” vote; if not, “no.”
