Three PRC amendments on the November ballot

On Election Day, voters will make some big decisions about the Public Regulation Commission. 

There will be three constitutional amendments on the ballot that would reshape the scandal-plagued agency. Back in May, PRC chair Pat Lyons got into a physical fight at a meeting. There are also former commissioners Carole Sloane and Jerome Block Jr., who are both convicted felons. 

The three constitutional amendments would shift some PRC responsibilities, like registering a business and insurance oversight, to another part of state government. The change would also install a minimum-education requirement, most likely a college degree, for someone to be elected to the commission. 

But some commissioners think the changes will do more harm than good.
