re: Real Life Examples of LA Amendment 3

Has anyone heard of any reason why this would be proposed as a constitutional amendment rather than a statute, other than the typical reason that the legislators don't want to risk taking a vote on anything? I'm not necessarily opposed to it in principle, but I really have a problem with setting the tax rate through a constitutional amendment.

Currently, the constitution allows the federal tax deduction. So the only way to remove it is to amend the constitution. See the actual language here LINK
However, the tax RATE is not and will not be part of the constitution... that will still be in the revised statues.
