On Tax Reform: Supermajority for any tax increase

[Future politicians may] want to increase taxes, otherwise known as taking more money from hard working Floridians. I want 2018 to be the year that Florida voters pass a constitutional amendment that makes it harder for politicians to raise taxes. My proposal would require 2/3rds of the legislature to vote on a tax increase for it to become law. Some have asked if this proposal would be in effect during a financial emergency or another national recession, and my answer is clear--ABSOLUTELY.
