> It is an amendment to correct an error made by the lawmakers when they

> The state constitution caps school property taxes for homeowners 65

> So an amendment is on the May ballot to correct this error.  The problem

> this amendment if not for yourself, then for your parents, grandparents,
> aunts, uncles, and friends.  We would really appreciate your getting
> the word out to all your friends and families to vote for this
> amendment.  The fear is that with a low voter turnout, the amendment
> could very well not pass.  So, please, please pass the word and VOTE for
> the constitutional amendment.
