Senator Marsh says he expects constitution revisions to pass

Senator Del Marsh

 State Sen. Del Marsh, R-Anniston, says dispited the failure of two past efforts to remove racist wording from the alabama constitution, he believes the the latest effort will work. In a speech Thursday night at the Wynfrey Hotel in Hoover, Marsh said the state’s Constitutional Revision Commission — authors of the latest proposal to take school-segregation wording out of the constitution — so far have a good track record for getting constitutional amendments passed.
Marsh, the president pro tem of the state Senate, drafted the legislation that created the 16-member Constitutional Revision Commission.
Marsh made his remarks at the annual award dinner held by Alabama Citizens for Constitutional Reform, or ACCR, a nonprofit group that advocates replacing or reforming the 1901 constitution. Marsh accepted the group’s highest honor, the Bailey Thompson Award, on behalf of the commission.
