Wrangell Sentinel -

Alaska’s constitution doesn’t need an overhaul, a new transmission or rewiring. It could use a tune-up to restrict campaign contributions from rich people, corporations and political action committees, and a new set of mud flaps to protect the Permanent Fund from political meddling. But it doesn’t need a wide open constitutional convention to take apart the vehicle in hopes that it will still run well after it is put back together.

Vote no on the constitutional convention on the Nov. 8 ballot. It’s just not needed, and Alaska cannot afford the repair bill.
