I read with some dismay your recommendation to approve three proposed state constitution amendments. None of these proposals concern how our state is to be governed. They should all be voted down. The constitution should be the bare minimum of a description of how the state government is organized. It should describe the executive offices, the legislative bodies and the state court system. It should not describe such details as specific tax breaks, rates or exemptions except in the broadest possible terms. It should not discuss any drugs or treatment in detail at all. Often the language of these proposals includes questionable, implied results that are not at all obvious. Tax exemptions, specific medical treatments and other similar subjects should be treated in laws passed by our legislature and approved by our executive.
