I have always supported a charter until this effort. It bastardizes the process and bypasses the same requirements they would place on us: namely requiring us to get 37000 signatures to get something on the ballot, the 20% signature requirement when the rest of the state requires only 8% of the gubernatorial votes to qualify a state wide initiative for the ballot.
It's complete partisanship, a coup masquerading as a ballot measure. And it's not going to pass.
When it fails, would these people support an effort for a "clean" charter?
Would they support a charter that doesn't change government in any way, but which would give the people the right of initiative and referendum at the statewide level of 8% of the gubernatorial.
I'd love to know that.
I doubt that any will respond, because their answer would be an overwhelming NO.
