Lawmakers look at constitutional rewrit
AUSTIN (AP) — Hundreds of
amendments have been hung on
the Texas Constitution since it was
written in 1876. Now two top law
makers are looking at proposing the
biggest one of all: a rewrite of the
document that lays out the state’s
fundamental laws and principles.
“I guess every time we have one
of these elections where we have 15
or 20 amendments, it raises the
consciousness that we ought to
have an instrument that we can do
better with,” Senate Finance Com
mittee Chair Bill Ratliff, R-Mount
Pleasant, said Wednesday.
Ratliff said he and Rep. Robert
Junell, head of the House Appro
priations Committee, are working
on the idea.
Voters earlier this month ap
proved 12 more constitutional
amendments, including a propos
al to remove a reference to “idiots
and lunatics.” That makes 377
amendments since the constitu
tion was adopted.
Critics, including the League of
Women Voters, have said it is time to
trim the document to a basic frame
work like the U.S. Constitution,
which has only 27 amendments.
While officials in a 1974 consti
tutional convention failed to pro
duce a revised document for voters’
approval, Ratliff said a different ap
proach is being mulled this time.
Officials would skip the con
vention, instead allowing lawmak
ers to offer a proposed constitu-

What makes Tommy Jeans
so popular? Is it the great
stonewashed color? Or the
relaxed, comfortable fit?
Maybe it’s the unexpected
designer touches. Whatever it
is, it’s the hottest thing
going - and it’s from
Tommy Hilfiger. All
