Description

Reporter Lee Mainella discusses the Florida Supreme Court case Fine v. Firestone (1984), which sought to determine whether the constitutional amendment called the Citizens' Choice on Government Revenue (also known as the Tax Limiting Amendment and as Proposition 1) dealt with more than one topic as required by petition rules. Supporters of the amendment said the subject is "revenue," but opponenets said the topic is too broad. Some of the audio is muffled.
