Joshua McNeillIt's hard to express how much I hate <a href="https://h4.io/tags/ballotmeasures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ballotmeasures</a> like this:"Provides for a general law state-wide homestead exemption that may differentiate among political subdivisions. House Resolution No. 1022 Ga. L. 2024, p. 1191"Difficult to parse and no way to make an informed decision as an average voter, and if you don't vote on it, people who are ignorant of their ignorance get to decide.
