She acknowledges the complexity of tax policy and the numerous amendments made to the state constitution over the years. Chenevert highlights the need for change to make Louisiana more business-friendly and retain residents. She explains that Amendment 2 aims to simplify and improve tax policy, which has been a topic of discussion for decades. The amendment is lengthy due to the numerous changes required to address various aspects of tax policy. Chenevert uses a metaphor comparing the current constitution to Darth Vader, suggesting it has become overly complex and altered from its original form. Chenevert notes that many people seek information about amendments, and she is always willing to provide clarity. She questions whether the state's numerous constitutional revisions have led to improvements in business and other areas. As a new legislator, she is eager to make positive changes and lower taxes, citing the recent reduction of the flat income tax rate from 4.5% to 3%.

She supports the idea of a constitutional convention but believes immediate steps are needed to improve the state. Chenevert addresses the opposition to Amendment 2, particularly from Woody Jenkins, who helped write the 1974 constitution. She argues that the current constitution ties the state's hands in many ways and that bold changes are needed. She highlights the commitment and energy of the new legislators, who are dedicated to making Louisiana a better place to live and work. In conclusion, Chenevert urges voters to support Amendment 2, believing it will lead to positive changes in tax policy and overall state governance.
