Three Virginia Amendments Put to Voters in November
Virginians will decide on three proposed constitutional amendments placed before them by the 1924 1926 and 1927 sessions. One extends voting tax relief to wives or widows of veterans of the War Between the States, another links Arlington county to cities for assessing abutting improvements, and a third addresses a further reform likely tied to local property assessments.
Vote On Amendments Expands State Tax Limits And Term
The article notes three amendments to the state constitution with the sixth extending the appropriation period by six months. It explains changing two years to two years and six months and mentions Virginians voting in November on these organic-law changes. An entire General Assembly will also be elected and local officials in all 100 counties.
