Here are my recommendations for the two questions on your Chesterfield County Ballot.
Statewide Constitutional Amendments:
Must Section 4, Article II of the Constitution of this State, relating to voter qualifications, be amended so as to provide that only a citizen of the United States and of this State of the age of eighteen and upwards who is properly registered is entitled to vote as provided by law?
Yes, In Favor of the Question
No, Opposed to the Question
This is most definitely a YES vote. Only citizens of this country should vote. Enough said.

All revenue received by the School District from the Tax will be used to reduce property taxes needed to pay debt service on School District bonds or to directly pay costs of education capital improvement projects of the School District identified herein. If the voter wishes to vote in favor of the question, fill in the oval next to “In favor of the question/yes;” if the voter wishes to vote against the question, fill in the oval next to the words, “Opposed
to the question/no.”
Yes, In favor of the question
No, opposed to the question
A NO vote is the proper response to this question. For a very detailed explanation of why I feel that a NO vote is appropriate on this question, please read my White Paper the issues at this web link: $88 million, for what? – The Chesterfield County CitizenThe Chesterfield County Citizen
