UPDATE | Florida CON-CON a GO-GO
TALLAHASSEE, FL -- Florida lawmakers are calling on the federal government for a constitutional amendment to balance the federal budget.
Florida Senate President Jeff Atwater and House Speaker Larry Cretul announced Monday that they have filed a joint resolution calling on congress to convene an amendments convention to change the U.S. Constitution and require a balanced federal budget.
Florida's constitution requires the state to have a balanced budget. The U.S. Constitution has no such provision.

Any one else hear about this?
"... March 16th the FL Senate will be voting on the SCR 10 bill which urges Congress to call a Constitutional Convention for the purpose of proposing amendments to provide for a balanced budget and limit the ability of Congress to dictate to states requirements for the expenditure of federal funds."

I think that people should call in to urge them to not pass the
bill. A Con-Con is different from just adding a Constitutional Amendment...

balanced budget has become a cause célèbre
... He said if 34 states make such a petition, Congress would have to call a convention to amend the Constitution.
