The above was taken from Dale Jackson's website.  Dale Jackson is a Morning DJ on WVNN  AM770   and he actually has a pretty fair take on the Alabama Amendments so I thought I would post his opinion here.  If you want to read the detailed amendments, comments, and the like you can go to his webpage and read the long version and it's found at:

https://theattackmachine.wordp...bamas-14-amendments/

Hope that helps folks get prepared for the other choices on the ballot that many don't think about too often.  Of them all I would think that Amendment 8 might be the most controversial, which is the "Right to Work" amendment to the State's constitution which essentially allows people to choose not to join a Union if they don't want to or prevents a Union Shop type environment meaning the Union cannot take your job for failing to join a union or so it's supposed to do.  I didn't real the complete text of the amendment but Tennessee has been a Right to Work State for a very long time and it is considered a pro-Business type amendment. 

If you are a very pro-Union person then you will be against this amendment and if you are pro-Business or don't want to be forced to join a Union if you are in one of those type jobs, then you would be for it.

Statewide Amendment 2:

Would prohibit any monies from the State Parks Fund, the Parks Revolving Fund, or any fund receiving revenues currently deposited in the State Parks Fund or the Parks Revolving Fund, and any monies currently designated under law for use by the state parks system from being transferred to any other public account, fund or entity or used for any purpose other than the support, upkeep, and maintenance of the state parks system. Proposal would also provide exceptions to the requirement that all state park system land and facilities be exclusively and solely operated and maintained by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.(Proposed by Act 2016-145).

 

vote YES

Statewide Amendment 8:

Establishes in the state Constitution that Alabama is a “Right to Work” state to keep private employees from having to join labor unions if they don’t want to do so. (Proposed by Act 2016-86).

 

i agree with 'yes' on amendment 2

as far as 'right to work'.. we're already a 'right to work' state... why do we need to say it again?

our state legislators spend a whole lotta time making up 'feel good' bills... laws we already have, but look good to the voters. just another way of not doing their job, while trying to look like they're doing their job.

I should have mentioned about disagreeing with the "No" indication on Amendment #2.  I actually voted YES on that amendment to protect the funding of the National Parks so I agree on that one and disagree with the lists shown above.

That's the state parks, not the national parks.  I voted yes.

Thanks for the correction, you are correct however I did mean to say State Parks.
