The Orange County Register has this op-ed by Jon Coupal and Martin Wilson, concerning California AB 1451. The legislature passed it September 11. It makes it much more difficult to qualify a statewide initiative. The op-ed criticizes the bill, which requires that at least 10% of the signatures be collected by unpaid individuals, and which bans “directly or indirectly” paying circulators on a per-signature basis. Thanks to Jack Dean for the link. The bill has not yet been signed.
ANTI-Democracy CASSOR gerrymander oligarch TYRANTS at work.
Terrible bill. How about a bill that says that 10% of the work that legislators and their staff does, has to be done as unpaid volunteers, and that they, and their staff have to be paid by the hour, at minimum wage?
How about a bill that says that 100% of the work that legislators and their staff does, has to be done as unpaid volunteers AND THAT THEY *MAY* HAVE A DONATION CAN ON THE STREETS BEGGING FOR FOOD/MEDICAL DONATIONS [NOT BRIBES] ???
