As the discussion regarding a constitutional convention begins to pick up steam, I thought it might be good to start talking about it here. While little attention, it seems, has been paid to the two published cost analysis reports, people should know what they say.
I’ve summarized the first report, published August 1st. My summary is comprised of two documents. The first is a summary of the whole report, with what strikes me as the meat of the report. The second is an Excel spreadsheet with a breakdown of the report’s potential cost projections.

There is a second report, published by the Legislative Reference Bureau. It is about three times as long as the Task Force report, so it’s going to take me a little longer to break it down and summarize it.
In the meantime, feel free to share your thoughts regarding the Con Con in the comment section here. I hope to be posting more regarding this topic shortly.
