HARRISBURG — The slow, multiyear process of amending the Pennsylvania Constitution has become the tool of choice for Republican lawmakers seeking to enact policy and avoid the governor’s veto.

Last year, the proposals the legislature sent voters all received approval. Two limited the governor’s power to declare and sustain a state of emergency, and the other enshrined protection against discrimination based on race in Pennsylvania. Lawmakers are now considering a number of proposed changes that could radically reshape how parts of the state government work.

But despite the potential significance of these changes, it’s difficult to track them as they move through the process.

Spotlight will update this info as we get closer to the Primary election. Be sure to check back....

Here's an easy tip: ANY amendment that has been proposed by ANY Repuke needs to be defeated. They usually introduce tricky wording on their proposals, so that liberals might think to answer "no" instead of "yes" or vice versa. They've done it before so don't be surprised when they do it again.
