Key points:
—Clay County Supervisor of Elections Chris Chambless explained what a yes or no vote means on each of the three statewide amendments and two local measures and predicted turnout of about 80% in November.
—Chambless and County Commissioner Betsy Condon spoke at the Clay Chamber’s Lake Region Prosperity Partners on Thursday, Sept. 24.
—Condon said Amendment 3’s expanded homestead exemption would shift tax decisions from local government to Tallahassee and could threaten services such as the Keystone Heights library.
—Condon said she has never sought a raise but worries the $37,000 commissioner salary limits who can afford to run, as voters decide a charter amendment tying pay to the state formula. Condon is term-limited in 2030 and would not benefit from the change.
