Ballot Questions:
Proposed Constitutional Amendments: http://www.scvotes.org/2010/07/27/2010_constitutional_amendment_questions
Amendment #1: NO – The rights to hunt and fish, as well as private property rights, are already addressed in the State Constitution.
Amendment #2: NO – Opposes Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) and undermines workers' rights. EFCA allows workers to sign up when trying to organize; majority then can decide how they will conduct the vote (may choose secret ballot).
Amendment #3: NO – While it is generally good to add to the General Fund during good economic times, at this time of financial crisis the money is needed for public services.
Amendment #4: NO – For the same reason as No to #3 – it is not appropriate to add to this "rainy day fund" during difficult economic times.
Charleston County Questions:
#1 – YES to appointing a commission to establish consolidation of local government functions.
#2 – YES to temporary (6 years) 1 cent sales tax to be used for physical improvement projects to 31 schools.
