Missouri Record: Justus Proposal Would Restrict Initiative to the Most Wealthy Individuals and Groups

Tue, Feb 15 2011 by Staff

Following Missouri state Senator Jolie Justus’ mis-Tweet about her proposal to severely burden anyone attempting to use the citizen initiative process comes more criticism; this time from a leading policy voice in the state. Analyst Audrey Spalding of the Show-Me Institute writes in the Missouri Record that:

Justus’ proposal will make it at least 50 percent harder (and that much more expensive) for Missourians to bring an issue to statewide voters…Why would Justus want to restrict this process further, so that only the most wealthy individuals and groups can participate?
