“the three-fifths override provision in the constitutional amendment is but an option available to this body to fund emergencies. Another option that is available is the one that is detailed in that letter which is to rescind obligated moneys from the prior year. So that is what they have suggested in that letter, which I think, given our deficit state at this point, is the most responsible way to do it. I wholeheartedly support that effort, and I think it is the responsible way to do it. It can clearly continue to be an option under the constitutional amendment.”
