The Constitutional Quandary

By Laura Knoy on Monday, September 25, 2006.

It seems like every time education funding comes up, lawmakers toss out a constitutional amendment as a solution and every time, it gets shot down by the legislature. We’ll look at the latest round of proposed amendments, including one to ban an income tax or a sales tax...and also see what the political fallout over these might be. Laura's guests are Norma Love, State House Reporter for the Associated Press. Rick Trombly, Director of Public Affairs for the New Hampshire Branch of the National Education Association. Rick served previously for sixteen years in the House and two in the Senate in New Hampshire. Eugene Van Loan, Manchester Attorney who has written extensively on matters of the constitution and who has been a consultant for both Democrats and Republicans on how best to draft constitutional amendments.
