In 1998, he was reelected to a third term with 70% of the vote.
When he was up for reelection in November 1998, he publicly opposed the referendum because, he said, "changing the Constitution would go against its intended purpose—protecting the rights of the minority against the will of the majority."
Leading up to the November election, polls consistently predicted that the measure would pass by 70–75%, a prediction that was accurate.
In 1999, after he led an effort to replace the State House leadership, his Democratic peers elected him Majority Leader.
