In this week’s edition of Facing South Florida:
CBS News Miami’s Jim DeFede focuses on Amendment 4, known as the “abortion amendment’, Amendment 3, known as the ‘marijuana amendment’, and one of the more significant decisions Miami-Dade voters will make—who will be the first elected sheriff in the county in 60 years.
And, DeFede devotes the bulk of the hour to Amendment 4, focusing on a mini-documentary he produced about a young women here in Florida who was forced to leave the state to get an abortion because of the six-week ban currently in effect here. Jim also interviews a leading critic of Amendment 4 who has been featured prominently in television ads statewide urging people to vote No on 4.
Plus, Jim provides highlights from two LIVE debates held this past week in the CBS Miami studios. In the first, the candidates for Miami-Dade Sheriff, Democrat James Reyes and Republican Rosanna “Rosie” Cordero-Stutz went head-to-head on the issues and why they are qualified for the job.
In the other, a leading supporter of Amendment 3, State Senator Joe Gruters, and Dr. Jessica Spencer, the advocacy director for No on Amendment 3, debate why they think voters should pass or defeat the constitutional amendment that would make recreational marijuana legal for adults over 21 in Florida.
