## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- finding that section 101.161(1) has always been interpreted to mean that the ballot title and summary must be read together in determining if the ballot information properly informs the voter
- noting that “[t]he seventy-five word limit placed on the ballot summary as required by statute does not lend itself to an explanation of all of a proposed amendment’s details”

## Opinion text

I generally agree with the rationale of the majority opinion. I dissent only because the ballot summary does not disclose that the amendment authorizes one of the casinos to be located in the South Pointe Redevelopment Area of Miami Beach. I believe the voters are entitled to know that the owners of land within such a precisely described location may stand to benefit from the passage of the amendment.
