Gainesville forum debates three Florida constitutional amendments ahead of November vote
Community members gathered at Pleasant United Methodist Church in Gainesville to learn about three constitutional amendments on Florida’s upcoming midterm ballot, with the event organized by the African American Accountability Alliance. A University of Florida professor explained the proposals, while the discussion centered on Amendment 3, which would increase the homestead exemption and lower the cap on non-homestead property assessment increases. Former Sen. Keith Perry spoke in support of the measure, while Mayor Harvey Ward urged voters to reject it, citing opposition from education, law enforcement, and civic organizations.
