It is not currently in the state constitution (unlike a prohibition on cruelty and inhumane confinement of pregnant pigs). Given the state's recent past, I worry that voters might be lured into voting for a deceivingly benign looking amendment and unknowingly put the state's growth in jeopardy. With regards to comprehensive plans: municipalities will continue to need comprehensive plans (notwithstanding current state law) so long as the government is the provider of roads, schools, parks, and other services and public facilities. On zoning: it may well be both the cause and the solution to the problem, but that is a post for a later date.Currently, signatures are being gathered so that the amendment can be put on the ballot sometime soon.

I know that I don't like comprehensive plans and that I don't really want governments regulating that sort of stuff in general. But with so many changes being made ... I guess I will do what I do for most amendments: vote NO. (Unless it's a repeal, so in that case it's: YES!)I don’t know much about this and toward the middle you had me won, but as I read more, I don’t know where I stand.
