Can we fix the Texas constitution?

The Republicans couldn’t get it right if their lives depended on it

The last attempt iirc was in 1974. Everyone knows its a mess but no one really has a clue how to fix it.

An amendment creating a voter proposition mechanism to replace amendments, i.e. we'll put a hold on new amendments

2. Implement a mechanism to sunset or archive time-dependent amendments. I.e. these are done, let's pull them out.

These will allow us to slowly simplify the constitution without a massive rewrite.

It needs to be drowned in the deepest cave in Jacob's Well. My mother said (sure it's true she's my Mom) that in Texas we use amendments were other states have laws or something like that. This constitution was written as a response to the reconstruction constitution after the end of the Civil War.

I tried cleaning up the bylaws of a neighborhood organization. Nobody wanted to participate, then screamed bloody murder at the result and prevented any vote.

Now magnify that by... Texas and you can see that I am an eternal optimist. Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go photograph wild unicorns.
