Some of the propositions of interest to Jackson County residents include an amendment increasing the homestead exemption, changing the requirement that state officers reside in the state capital, permitting professional sports team charitable foundations to conduct raffles, recognizing the right of the people to hunt and fish wildlife subject to laws that promote conservation and dedicating sales and use tax revenues to provide funding for roads.
