Wisconsin Governor Says the State Needs a Statewide Initiative Process

On January 6, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers, a Democrat, said that the state needs the statewide initiative process. See this story.

No state has added provision for a statewide initiative since Mississippi did, and since then the initiative has disappeared in Mississippi. There are only 22 states that actually have a statewide initiative process. Illinois has one on paper, but it is so restrictive as to subject matter, it might as well not exist. Illinois has only had one statewide initiative on the process in its entire history.
