Nevada: Are partisan tax hikes more important than the constitution?

It is well known that Nevada is a special place in this world! Maybe I should get more familiar with the constitution of Nevada!



"A Carson City judge ruled yesterday that the Nevada Constitution means what it says: any bill that “creates, generates or increases any public revenue in any form” requires a two-thirds majority vote to be passed. Senate Republicans initiated the lawsuit shortly after Democrats passed two revenue-increasing bills without securing the necessary two-thirds majority support.

The case is now heading to the Nevada Supreme Court where, if the justices uphold their oath to enforce the constitution as written, the ruling of the district court will be affirmed. ..."

I think all constitutions should contain such a provision including the U.S. Constitution!
