Missouri: Citizen measure looks to decrease state legislature’s size
An initiative petition submitted by a Northlander has been cleared for circulation for the 2012 ballot by Secretary of State Robin Carnahan. Russell C. Purvis of Kansas City is seeking a constitutional amendment to reduce the ranks of the Missouri House of Representatives by 60 members. This petition is among six that Carnahan said had been approved for circulation March 14. The five others relate to municipal police forces or departments.
