You are very aware, aren't you, that the Nevada Supreme Court has ruled that there are exceptions to the 2/3 supremajority requirement.

I am neither aware, nor very aware. This is the one thing in your post that contributes to the forum - thanks.

Could you tell us what exceptions have been made and whether it is germane to this complaint?

I am sorry to assume that you were aware of the underlying ruling of the SCONEV. The legislature of Nevada has failed to pass a bill to fund public education. The Nevada Constitution requires the state to fund public education. The SCONEV heard arguments that the reason the legislature has failed to fund public education was because of a Constitutional requirement that a 2/3 supermajority pass any bills to increase taxes. The SCONEV accepted these arguments and ruled that the 2/3 supermajority clause of the Nevada Constitution had an exception to fund Constitutionally required public education. That is the current law in Nevada.

This exception is the very heart of complaint. I am actually quite surprised that you weren't aware of it.
