Kasich Brings Budget Pitch To Idaho

Ohio Gov. John Kasich wrapped up a six-state stump tour in the Idaho Capitol today, pressing for state legislatures to consider joining Ohio in calling for a constitutional convention to enact a balanced budget amendment. Kasich, who spent an hour with Idaho lawmakers before a noon press conference, “noodling this idea,” in House Speaker Scott Bedke’s words, said he’s not telling other states what to do, and they can decide for themselves. But he wants to get the discussion going. Twenty-four states have passed resolutions calling for a convention; under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, it takes 34 states to convene one, and 38 to ratify whatever comes out of it/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise.
