Need help with Ballot issues for Primary on May 18th

[Deminpenn]

5. Questions 2 and 3 are the Rs response to

Gov Wolf's use of the governor's unilateral power to declare an emergency. These emergency declarations can last up to 90 and can be renewed indefinately at 90 day intervals. The state legislature can vote to end them, but the governor can veto that, which Wolf has done. The Rs don't have a 2/3rds majority to override a veto, thus the ballot questions.

Question 1 is about letting paid, professional fire departments eligible to apply for the same grants that volunteer fire depts use. For example, in my county, there are two cities with paid, professional fire and emergency departments. These two FDs would now be able to apply for the same grants as the VFDs they serve alongside.

Question 4 is just a straight forward expansion of civil rights being added to the state constitution.

I'm voting NO on the emergency powers questions, and yes on the FD and civil rights ones.
