What Is It with Crudding Up State Constitutions?
Totally lost in the white-hot controversy over Missouri’s Issue 2 is the fact that it has the same problem as Ohio’s Issue 2 on the minimum wage and Ohio’s Issue 3 (see Reason 18 at link) on legalizing gambling for college-scholarship money — namely adding an incredible level of complexity to state constitutions that are meant to be guiding documents, not intensely detailed legal, criminal, and administrative codes.
I would be against all three measures in any case, but the additional constitutional crud that each would cause should be dealbreakers, even for supporters.
