| Friday, December 11, 2009 |
| Now that Florida Hometown Democracy organizer Lesley Blackner has gotten her proposed amendment on the 2010 ballot, she has decided to dictate its terms to the public.

| Friday, November 20, 2009 |
| If Floridians approve a constitutional amendment on the November 2010 ballot, local voters would have to vote on every change to a city or county comprehensive plan — the blueprint for development — no matter how innocuous.

| Initiative to give voters control over development makes it on the 2010 ballot |
| Tuesday, October 6, 2009 |
