Statement on Constitutional Convention
At its September 2009 meeting the Michigan Catholic Conference Board of Directors approved a statement that does not support the call for a constitutional convention in 2010:
“Michigan’s current constitution is not a perfect document. Amendments are in order, especially in the area of state aid to non-public schools. The financial impact of a constitutional convention on the state budget, however, only presents additional threats to, and concerns for, the state’s social safety net. Michigan Catholic Conference does not support the call for a constitutional convention in 2010.”
