Disappointment…

The constitutional reform bill died in the Alabama House yesterday. Why we go through this same heartbreak every year, I cannot understand.

The citizens of Alabama have demanded a new constitution and our legislature won’t give us the opportunity to craft one. It’s absolutely outrageous.

On Thursday, the House voted 46-44 for the measure, short of the three-fifths vote needed to bring it up for consideration.

The bill would have also allowed voters to approve the final version of the new constitution.

Newton said he doesn’t understand why legislators are not willing to let voters decide the issue.

“Those people who had the wisdom to elect you to this body ought to have the wisdom to decide on a new constitution,” Newton said.
