Summary

Clint and Ben walk through all 10 constitutional amendments on the Nov. 3 Louisiana ballot, using the nonpartisan guide from the Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana (PAR). For each one, they explain what a vote for and a vote against would do, with several touching property taxes that matter to South Louisiana homeowners. They do not tell anyone how to vote, and nothing here is tax or legal advice.


Key Topics

•  Amendments 1, 2, 6, 9 and 10: property tax exemptions, rates and freezes

•  Amendment 3: post-conviction bail; Amendment 4: governor term limits

•  Amendment 5: retirement debt; Amendment 7: lead water lines

•  Amendment 8: foreign adversary expropriation of property

•  Why early voting means fewer people on Election Day
