Oppose
The Arkansas Constitution is our charter document. Similar to what our Founding Fathers believed, amending the foundational document should take wide consensus across the state, serious consideration, and be done with unquestionable integrity. We should not remove guardrails that ensures integrity to the benefit of the highest out of state bidder.
