Chairman Tippin stressed the importance of this Revision 7 Campaign concerning <br />Article V and getting the State to pay a more equitable share of State court costs. He wished <br />to appoint Vice Chairman Macht as the County's lead Commissioner and County Attorney <br />Vitunac as the County's key staff contact. <br />There was no opposition to the above appointments. <br />-Commissioner Eggert asked if this campaign stayed "pure" or if the FAC had put <br />other issues in it, and Commissioner Adams assured her that it is "pure". <br />Commissioner Adams predicted conflict would come with some of the other more <br />controversial amendments that are proposed, including the gun purchase delay. A lot of <br />money will be put into some of those campaigns. In fact, there is talk that those campaigns <br />will be for a total negative vote for all the amendments, in order to get the ones they are <br />opposing defeated. <br />Commissioner Adams called the amendments very boring but very, very important <br />and will affect us greatly. She offered to try to get some information about all the <br />amendments so that the Board will have the ability to know and advise what is being asked <br />for in each amendment and be able to point out what a "yes" vote or a "no" vote would do. <br />Commissioner Ginn believed the problem has been that some 30 Constitutional <br />amendments are being "lumped together" into fewer questions for the ballot. <br />Commissioner Adams commented there was even one ballot question that was being <br />called "miscellaneous", which was very scary. She stated it was a combination of unrelated <br />matters, and compared it to someone's "junk drawer". <br />Commissioner Ginn felt it important to know all of what is included on Revision 7, <br />and County Attorney Vitunac advised he would furnish all of the Commissioners with the <br />details. <br />Vice Chairman Macht hoped the local newspaper would follow through with a public <br />education campaign so the public would understand what the revisions are. <br />13.A.2.
