RALEIGH, N.C. — Republican state lawmakers announced three proposals for new state constitutional amendments Monday morning, with plans to vote on them later in the day.
One of the amendments would further cap the state's maximum possible income tax rate. Another would tweak the state's voter photo identification requirements. The third would call for a new U.S. Constitutional convention. A convention could only be held if 34 states call for one. Currently 19 states have done so, according to the main conservative group that's been lobbying for years for a new convention to rewrite the Constitution.
Republicans still have a veto-proof supermajority until January.
