6-13-17 constitutional convention-league of women voters

todayJune 13, 2017

The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin says lawmakers should scrap plans for a constitutional convention.  The state Assembly is scheduled to vote Tuesday on proposals calling for a constitutional convention to add a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. constitution.  League of Women Voters of Wisconsin director Andrea Kaminski says it’s a dangerous path to take.  “We totally respect the concerns people have about the federal deficit, but enacting a constitutional amendment that requires a federal balanced budget is the wrong way to do it,”  Kaminski told AM 1170 WFDL’s Between the Lines program.  Fond du Lac Republican state representative Jeremy Thiesfeldt says he will vote in favor of the measure.
