CONGRATULATIONS FLORIDIANS! Amendment Four Defeated! In an Election Day characterized by
nail-biters and close-calls, the battle over Amendment 4 stands out for being anything but. Voters handed
no-growth interests a stunning, across-the-board defeat on Tuesday, decisively rejecting the draconian
anti-growth measure that would have required taxpayer-funded referenda for all changes to local
comprehensive land use plans.
The amendment was soundly defeated in every region and rejected by a majority of voters in both major
parties, as well as Independents. Team CivilSurv actively campaigned against this measure for the past three
years.
