re: Thoughts on rushed constitutional convention in La? Looks like voters don’t really want it

Having a constitutional convention to remove the logjam of constitutional protections for various money has been talked about for over a decade, the only reason it seems "rushed" is because it's actually happening and that is getting news.

It seems rushed because it should not be a 2-week process concurrent with the end of session. There's also that whole restriction of public information bill that's still up in air. It appears that they want the entire constitution drafted and approved/sent to the ballot behind closed doors.

This quote is going to follow him for a while.

“Well I mean listen, that’s a great question. Do they? They elect us with full confidence that we’re going to go out there and solve those problems. When we make that decision, those decisions are public, it becomes the policy of the state,” he said.

“But all of the pre-decisions, you don’t go into the, I’ll give you a great example, when you go to a restaurant, do you go over there and watch the cook make everything he serves you? No, you just walk into a restaurant, those restaurants you that you think serve a great meal and you order that great meal. You don’t want to know how, what the cook put in there, where he got the ingredients, how many people were involved in cooking it, all you care about is a good meal. That’s what people of this state are looking for, they’re looking for elected officials to go out there and to solve their problems. This bill helps us to do that.”
