Sixty-two percent at this late date shows me we can win this thing handily. Amendment 24 would require counties and cities to prepare maps of future growth areas and submit them to voters. Governments would have to describe the projected impacts of local development. Counties with populations greater than 25,000 would have to comply. Counties of 10,000-25,000 populations could vote to be exempt, and counties under 10,000 would not be affected.
Opponents say the plan is flawed.
They said it would cost too much for cities and counties to manage the new growth maps. And creating those maps could interfere with growth-control plans already in place in some counties. The plan would also send housing costs soaring, opponents contend. But even opponents were not surprised by the poll results. Rigg said the coalition has begun an advertising campaign to educate the public on the details of the measure.
