Initiative supporters get approval to start signature gathering process
If it seems late in the season, it is ”” if you’re collecting signatures for ballot measures. Backers of Referendum 72 just got the final OK today to print petitions and go out collecting signatures to put their measure on the Nov. 3 ballot. R-72 sponsor Jerry Galland needs 120,577 valid voter signatures by July 25, just five weeks away. This one looks like a steep climb. But Galland says he’s going ahead regardless.
