Excerpts from Gov. Brown and Sen. Kennedy discuss balanced budgets and constitutional paths. Brown pushes state local spending limits and federal balance while Kennedy warns against a national constitutional convention and favors statutory budget action. Both address inflation, deficits, and the role of government in shaping economic policy.
The page showcases three views on a constitutional convention to require a balanced federal budget with 22 states calling for one and 12 more needed for two thirds. Massachusetts Sen. Edward M. Kennedy questions the convention route, preferring congressional action or simple statute, while noting debt limit votes and DC representation debates. Congress faces pressure to act now to halt rising deficits.
The piece notes that 22 states have petitioned Congress to trigger a constitutional convention under Article V to propose a balanced budget amendment. It urges Congress to revive Sam Ervin’s 1971 bill, arguing a convention could broaden reforms and should be restrained and orderly to avoid a full rewrite.
