    Would I trust the current state government to write a new constitution? That’s the question I’d need to ask. And, I sincerely doubt that I would, generally speaking.

    Limit donations from corporations? Big, hard YES, on that.

      That’s essentially the question getting asked. I don’t live there but honestly I think id always answer no, because I don’t trust politicians at all so no to the rewriting the state constitution.

        If the answer is always no, how can the constitution be improved? Putting donor limits into the constitution for example would be better than as a more easily repealed law. Putting the rights to, clean water, healthcare, and privacy would also be ideally added to a modernized constitution.

            I mean the current guys, yeah. But there must be some point where there’s enough good guys that you would so the answer isn’t always no and you should do what you can towards reaching that point.
