The way it is set up, you need a statewide amendment to raise a salary in a minor town, or to build a school on the other side of the state. Our constitution REQUIRES you to bend a knee to Goat Hill (the legislature) and beg for favors to do ANYTHING in the state.
I stand corrected. Texas has one of the longest in the country with over 400 amendments.
The way you explained Alabama's government makes it sound like it's more restrictive on the people and local governments than the state government.
