California: Official would like to see more power to amend and change initiatives
Supervisor Scott Wiener says he plans to propose a charter amendment at today’s Board of Supervisors meeting that would grant the supes power to amend or appeal ballot initiatives approved by voters —Â a step he insists will help reduce the number of such measures San Francisco residents are asked to weigh in on during election seasons. The the change to the city’s charter would allow the supervisors to amend or appeal a ballot measure with a two-thirds majority after it has been in effect for three years, and through a simple majority vote after seven years.
