But here's an example of how con-con is dividing people who usually fight for the same things.With the system as it is, there needs to be some changes. The way the state government is gridlocked at this time, it's hard to tell if a change is coming.
Ralph Martire, a government watchdog, agrees with Pierce the tax system has to change; that it relies too heavily on property taxes.
But how to fix that? Martire says not with con-con. He worries hot button issues like gay marriage would crowd out a reasonable debate about taxes. And that could hobble any chances to change the tax system for years to come.
