My method, vote the opposite of the Tampa Bay Times endorsements, is a lot easier.

I'm just straight voting no on all the bundled amendments. The one good caveat isn't good enough to justify the others. As for the Water & Soil runners, their opposition really aren't good picks. One of the candidates for Group 1, while he has good experience, seems just like a Federal yes man and is near 70 years old. You said it was time for Judge Taylor to retire but I couldn't find anything in her record to make her seem unfit for another term. I couldn't find her age though.
