1. I don't know what to think about amendment 3
I know our state constitution is an embarrassing monstrosity, and that we are in dire need of constitutional reform. Yet our roads and bridges could also be called accurately "an embarrassing monstrosity."

I'm not as well-informed on this as I should be. I've been nursing a few minor, but painful, health issues recently, and haven't been paying as much attention as I should.

The Tuscaloosa News says vote for it, and I usually agree with their editorial board (a notable exception being their endorsement for Richard Shelby's re-election). And the Birmingham News, as you note, says to vote no, but doesn't base that recommendation on the merits or demerits of the particular measure.

Do you, trof, have a strong opinion on amendment 3 one way or the other?
