Amendment 1, doesn’t matter to anyone and I have no idea why they’re wasting ink on it
Amendment 2, seems like common sense, you should live in the district you represent
Amendment 3, I’m a no on this. $25K is a lot of money and if I want a jury I should get one.
Amendment 4, I’m a yes on this only because I think people should be able to go to hell any way they’re happy with.
Amendment 5, I don’t understand and since I don’t live there it’s a moot point.

Amendment 1 - no. Why waste the money on name changes
Amendment 2 - no. I was a yes until I got to the neutered part. I don't support gender neutral language
Amendment 3 - no. Like Merlin, I want a jury trial regardless of the amount
Amendment 4 - no. I feel it will lead to more problems than we already have
Amendment 5 - no. There is nothing wrong with having the citizens elect orphans court judges
