I am of the mind that no matter what the form of government, it will eventually move left of its foundation unless it has a continuing system of self-cleansing.

I have supported our Constitution for some time because I believe that it was the best form of government ever developed - - that the faults were more those of management than design.

Now I do have a criticism: The constitution should have stayed as it was, but within its articles should have been sunlight and sunset provisions that would be applied to all laws and proposals.

Any tax raise....sunset after 10 years. Any bureau, sunset after ten years. Any finished legal proposal would have to wait two weeks for a vote.

We still need these tools. It is never too late.

Worthy of a tagline.
