How I voted:
Amendment 1: NoAmendment 5: NoAmendment 7: NoAmendment 8: NoAmendment 9: YesWhat is the "right to farm" actually about? Is it something to do with land use and zoning? Or an anti-animal-welfare measure?
What's the catch for Amendment 1?
My understanding is that Amendment 1 was an attempt by farmers (both of the corporate and family-owned variety) to shield themselves from regulations that they think could be detrimental to their business. Specifically, they were alarmed by
Proposition B, which in their view demonstrated the electorate's willingness to regulate businesses that deal with animals (such as farms).
