The Sarasota Association of Realtors opposes the super majority amendment for the following reasons:
The super majority amendment clashes with America's founding principles of representative democracy, which is to conduct the will of the majority (not the super majority), while protecting the rights of the minority.
The super majority places too much power in the hands of one or two elected officials. They can use the super majority to stop ideas and plans that benefit the entire community.
Our economy and employers are dependent on our workforce. This proposal would arguably push that workforce farther from the site of employment, creating more sprawl, higher home prices, and less viable public transit options and more traffic congestion.
With the super majority amendment it will be almost impossible to receive approval for developments or projects that will benefit our economy. The super majority amendment will hurt our economy and our local business owners.
Please vote NO on Super Majority Amendment.
