If you can change a constitution by merely voting to do so, then it’s not a “constitution”.

On US-285 about 20 miles south of Vaughn. Next to some roads in Nevada, this 100 mile stretch of divided highway between Roswell and Vaughn has to be one of the most desolate in the US - One rest area and that’s it. Not heavily traveled and speed is 75 mph though most go 80 or over.

Unlike other states, the NM constitution is hard to amend. First the legislature has to approve the constitutional amendment which is not always easy, and then it is put up to a vote in the next general election. So what ABQ wants to do is not likely to happen, certainly not soon.

This is the latest tactic of the left. Propose a constitutional amendment for a popular vote to get things the legislature won’t pass/governor won’t sign. It happened here in conservative MO with right to work and a couple of weeks ago with Medicaid expansion.

Unlikely in NM - see my #23.
