While I wanted to see all six nixed, the judicial appointments and ethics board amendments that failed were particularly odious.

The income tax cap (that passed) will probably haunt our state's budget for generations.

Full details explained well here:

Working on rewriting the amendment you wanted to pass soon. No telling what it will be when they get done with it. In case you didn't know, NC has had a victims rights law in place since the '90's. The amendment, in fact all six of the amendments, were designed to be rewritten into other laws. The NCGA was hoping no one would think about the six of them enough to research them, so now they can turn them into what ever they want them to be. That's why the recommendation was to "nix all six" of the proposed amendments, that is, to vote "no" on all of them. Now we have four amendments to the NC constitution and a Republican party in charge of rewriting them since the new general assembly has a while before they are sworn in. I doubt that what you think you voted for will end up being what you want. Besides the victim's rights bill already exists. Since 1998, I think.
Time will tell.
