Do any states have BBAs currently in place?
How are they working? I live in IL and they gimmick it up to “balance” the budget breaking the laws legally.
What’s the experience base in the other 50 American laboratories called states?
How about the states with line item vetoes (43 per the article)? Are they in good shape? IL has the line item veto and it’s made little difference.
How does the single-subject requirement work in the 41 states that have it? IL judges use it to overturn legislation, some of it good. It locks out the minority party from attaching bills that would change things in IL for the better.
I do appreciate the ideas and FR seems to have an overabundance of ideas for fixing America.
But, to me our best move is to walk the people, the executives, the legislatures and the judges back to our existing Constitution as written.
I don’t see anything past the 15th Amendment that improved on the original.
