[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 243172, member: 3373"] I have mixed emotions on the whole initiated measure process. Completely agree that some initiated measures are very poorly written and then the legislature has to write them to make sure they are legal and enforceable. And they never seem to be in a hurry to complete this process. I also think that it can be a little too easy to bring and initiated measure to the ballot. Also concerns me how uniformed lots of voters are about initiated measures. I guess everyone has the right to become as informed as they wish. Some of us are like the US legislature "Let's pass the AFCA and then figure out what's in it and needs to be fixed." On the other hand this bill reads to me (nowhere close to a legal authority) that regardless of the vote of the people the legislature will be able to deny the vote according to how they feel. Appears to me that this bill is as poorly written as some of our past initiated measures. [/QUOTE]
