The Florida Supreme Court heard hear oral arguments Thursday on Florida Hometown Democracy's challenge to the competing proposal called the Smarter Growth amendment. The justices did not immediately rule on the proposal supported by Hometown Democracy opponents including the Florida Chamber of Commerce. Smarter Growth would allow referendums on plan changes only if 10 percent of voters sign petitions. Hometown Democracy lawyer Ross Burnaman argued its summary is deceptive because it doesn't say petitions can be signed only at county election offices.
